    I think they are supposed to be egg layers. Aren't Cornish rocks meat birds? The white pullet is on the smaller size. Is a good comet the same as a red sex link?

    Ron: I can do that I just won't have a temporary coop to put out in the run - the temp coop is what they are in in the garage - I will put my thinking cap on and come up with something... I'm pretty inventive...

    Thank you for the replies about moving the youngsters outside. Unfortunately, slowly introducing them outside is not an option due to schedules. I need to be able to move them outside permanently. I have a pen inside of a pen - I already have 7 big girls and inside that pen I can make a small...

    not laying

    We have had mild weather here until last night with temps in the 20's. But my hens laid all through last year with snow and low temps. The part that is most perplexing is why did my younger hen stop laying and my other two younger ones laid 2 eggs and stopped?

    not laying

    I have 5 hens who are 20 months old, 1 hen who is about 2 yrs old, 3 pullets/hens that are 8-1/2 months old. My 6 older hens were laying just fine until about the beginning of October - then they molted. They now have all their feathers in but still have not started to lay again. My other 3...

    Any harm in letting broody hens lie?

    Thanks everyone! She hasn't laid any eggs to sit on so I put some golf balls in the box but she just moved to a different box. The other hens like to get in the box she is in to lay their eggs. But she is one mean, mean broody! She drew blood on one of my kids. She puffs up and hisses...

    Any harm in letting broody hens lie?

    So I have a broody hen (no rooster). I do not want to put any fertilized eggs under because I don't want / need any more chickens (I know I heard most of you gasp at that! lol) I don't have a way to put her in a wire cage with the ice cube thing. She is a very mean broody hen... Is there...

    I think I will keep the two that are in question - at least for a while - see what happens with them. The other two that are definitely cockerals are going to our housekeeper at work (she took the other five)... Thanks for the help. I might try to get better pictures tomorrow though. carol
