    Are we both boys?

    i kinda do not think that they are broilers. most CX are at 6-8 lbs at 7 weeks.... mine were and we processed at 8 weeks. I think these are production reds - egg layers. Still, tho, if they are roos, you can certainly use them for fryers around 15-19 weeks! Hope this helps and hey, I am...

    Are we both boys?

    i think the dark one may be a roo (thick legs, looks like saddles and hackle growing in plus the really red comb) , but the one with more white in the head area may be pullet.( feathering still undeterminate, skinnier legs, lighter pinky-orange comb) ---- could be a pullet or could be a slower...

    Ideas for Coop Instead of hay or Straw... Sand? shavings? what works?

    I love Suncoast shavings. They are very big flakes and less dusty. I have to specify the brand for the Co op to order.

    How far will the hens wander?

    First, YES they will destroy your garden...so make sure you fence it off before letting them free range. Secondly, I live on 5 ac---- the hens will NEVER venture more than say 100 ft from their coop... I do not know why really and they NEVER cross the road... DUNNO why on that either. I...

    Please say I'm not a roo

    my ten weekers are crowing... :-( One of my 10 weekers has glossy saddles coming in, the other one does not....so saddles are hard to tell at this age. guess you will just have to listen up in the AM! since you didn't mention crowing, i cast my vote for hen.
