    Hey guys!

    so when I bought these chickens I picked them out. They were 4 months old so I thought I picked all hens. But as it happens I have 2 that are for sure roosters, and one I’m not sure, he had the long neck feathers but no droopy tail feathers. He is the one on the right. What is it?

    please help. introducing a baby chicken

    actually that gives me a great idea. my nesting boxes are about 3 feet up and connected to the wall. they are maybe 2 foot out so if I fence that off she can live in there for a week or so. just need to give her her own waterer. or use the one she's using currently
