    Idea of breed? About 1 yr old

    He came from a friend's neighbor around Barrie Ontario. He also came with scaley leg mites which took me a bit to identify as I hadn't come across it before.

    Rooster keeps pecking me.

    We now carry an umbrella around and my rooster respects it. But will get rid of him in the winter. No way my umbrella will fit in the hen house!🤣 It's too bad as he is a terrific rooster with his hens and very beautiful.

    Roosting

    The roosts have always been there. I got them from Frey's as 5-6 week started birds. I have had them for 2 weeks now.

    Oyster shell and grit

    What a fabulous forum!🙂 So after reading some posts I take it that it is best to put os and grit in different containers and not mix with their pellets. My hens are almost 7 weeks old. I have 3 Azure, 3 BSL, 3 red X and 1 Barred Rock rooster. I haven't let them outside yet as I have no run and...
