    Roosters

    Thank you so much for this response! We’re not looking to breed them at this point, but more so looking for a protector for the flock and someone who can help keep the peace between the new additions and the older girls. Definitely giving me a lot of food for thought, will definitely be...

    Roosters

    Yes, they are all currently together. We’ve introduced them slowly because they weren’t quite the same size yet and I have one mean older hen who loved to terrorize them. So far things have been pretty good. The 6 younger (4 roos, 2 pullets) tend to stick together during the day, and though...

    Roosters

    So, I currently have 4 Australorp roosters (13 weeks) and I want to learn more about them. Open to keeping one (or none) for our backyard flock of (going to be) 16 hens. But I know nothing about them. How do you vet who to keep and who to give away (or freezer camp)? When will I know they’ll...

    6 week Australorps

    I’m hoping they will start crowing soon so I know who’s what… but I’m guessing the 3 to the left are roosters and 3 to the right are pullets… it’s so hard to tell at this age but we currently cannot have roosters and the person I got them from said they would take back the roosters and I don’t...

    50/50 split?

    Got six Australorps in a straight run… 3 of them have red combs and waddles, the other 3 do not.. chances we got a 50/50 split of cockerels and pullets? Currently 5 weeks old

    Is my Silkie a roo?

    Thank you. I posted a close up of the other two if you wouldn’t mind looking at them as well. 🙏

    Is my Silkie a roo?

    obviously I know it’s a guessing game, at this age especially.. but these two looks flatter, do you think they could be girls? They have the same shaped crest.

    Hello all

    Hello all, We have been chicken tenders for just over a year. We have 4 grown hens (2 Australorps, 1 barred rock and 1 silverlaced wyandotte) who have been laying for ~6 months. We have recently added 3 silkies and 6 Australorp chicks, so currently we have 13 on our property. Two of my...

    Is my Silkie a roo?

    I got 3 silkies, two look alike and are the same size (black and white ones, which I’m leaning towards they are females) the gray one I have a hunch is a rooster, as he chases and is significantly larger than the other two. All are 8, almost nine weeks. We unfortunately don’t want roosters...
