I have no knowledge of Polish chickens but I'm trading a Welsummer for these two cuties! I would guess the right is a hen and the left is a roo, but that's an uneducated guess LOL They are about 3 months old.

I've posted a couple of times to get advice and I don't get a lot of feedback here. I'm not experienced enough to answer many questions but I read through everything. So not sure if my lack of responses is because people are not familiar with my name or what. But I am desperately seeking...

After reading some on Feeding Your Chickens for Cheap and the Old Timers thread am I understanding that getting meat waste from my deer processor friend and/or feeding my chickens cat food is actually better for them than laying pellets? I have 18 hens and 1 rooster. 13 of the hens are 20-25...

My grandpa has had chickens ever since I can remember. I told him I was going to get some French Black Copper Maran chicks and hoped I got some pullets. He said if you hold them upside down by their toes - roos will hang straight down and not move, but pullets would curl back up and try to...

Someone local has French black copper Maran chicks, 2-22 days old for sale. But she doesn't know the girls from the boys would anyone be willing to let me text you pix of them to ID pullets for me? I don't want any Roos .
