    I've always thought #1 was a cockerel and #3 was a puller but I am just very puzzled on #2. Looks to me like a boy. Bigger than #3 but not bigger than #1.

    dog kennel or hardware cloth run.

    so I can afford one or the other and I don't know which to pick. I know the hardware cloth would be the safest route, but the dog kennel gives much more room.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I was glad to see that all of the chicks survived. even the extras. I would try to keep a couple roosters but I have a tiny coop and my run doesn't have a full roof and they would tear my girls up if I kept them. I hope to find then a home soon.

    I called them and they said they had to send them to keep my chicks warm or else they would have died. they also sent me the wrong colored silkies. I was supposed to have 3 white and 3 blue. they sent 5 white and 2 blue. I won't be ordering from ideal again anytime soon. I think they are going...
