Is this young 4 month old rooster a breed or a mutt? Under his feet it's yellow but his leg coloring is weird. Got him from a well known breeder so it's hard to think he's a mutt, maybe a Black Java?..

I looked at her foot to see if she has and cuts or abrasions on her foot but I don't...
I have post here about rats not eating poison pellets that I have out for almost a month...
But until a few days ago the rats finally went in the poison box and ate it all. For 3 nights straight I had to re-bait the boxes every few hours cause they ate it all during the nights. Now, I...
I found a pretty big box that I want to make a brooder from it's just shy of 3' wide and 3' length on all sides and I was wondering how long can 25 large fowl chicks stay in there around before it's gets to small?

I had a broody hen late last summer and my chickens lacked eggs back then so I got a few eggs from a guy down road from me who only has breeder/SQ chickens.
What is this rooster?
I live in Connecticut and the taxes here are crazy and everything is expansive. If you want to survive in this state you need to make atleast $16-$20 an hour and that's just living with barely any spending money left over.. I just went to a poultry show in Massachusetts and gas there was...

Today I went to feed my chickens and one of my roosters dosnt eat and all he dose is sleep. He is pooping out wet green poop and not eating or drinking, just sleeping. Yesterday he was 100% fine and today I don't know what happened??
Well, I have 3 different coops with separate runs for each other. 2 of them being big coops for adult chickens and one is small for chicks/young birds. I placed a bid for a 2" mesh nylon 25' x 50' and that is a nice size for all 3 coops.
My concern is I have younger chickens always escaping...
