    Young rooster and even younger pullets

    Thats good to know. The two groups have their own side of the coop divided by chicken wire. They can see each other, but each has their own food, water, & roosts with separate entrances. I'm sure they'll all work things out, I just hate that whole pecking order thing. 🙃

    Young rooster and even younger pullets

    Well...I took a leap of faith this morning. I couldn't stand looking at all those pullets cooped up without any bugs to chase, and grass to peck at, soooo I let everyone out all together. We'll see what happens. Sink or swim! I'll let you know what happens.

    Young rooster and even younger pullets

    I've recently adopted my elderly neighbor's free range flock, which includes a mature rooster. A couple months ago (not sure exactly) a partial game hen hatched a chick, which we now believe to be a rooster. I, on the other hand, bought 20 chicks (RIR, and Red Sex Link) about a 6 weeks ago. I...

    Can the eggs still be hatched by my hen?

    Note: My flock is free range The scenario: This morning one of my hens, Miss Broody, hatched a chick (Candy Corn - named so due to the white tipped candy corn-like beak) from a large clutch of eggs; which she had built up on an upper level of the coop. She led the chick out of the coop, and...
