Hi there! I got a few barnyard pullets (hopefully). I’m curious what this gal in particular may be? She seems to be at the top of the pecking order and has a different personality compared to my other girls so I was curious to learn more about her. But maybe it’s just her and not a breed thing…...
Sorry I’m just now responding- thank you so much for your input! I did as you suggested. They seemed to do just fine, I just got so nervous when I had seen it originally! Thank you again!

Hi there from KY! I started my first flock a week ago and I’m already obsessed with these little gals (and fellas, I’m suspecting). I am thankful for this online forum as I know I will have questions upon questions upon questions. For now, meet my little crew of production reds, buff orps, and...
