    Question : Pullet or Cockrel ???

    He/she is the RIR and is 3.5 months old.I'm leaning towards Cockrel but he hasn't displayed any signs of being one yet. There is a Buff orpington Cockrel the same age and he is posturing and mounts the pullets. Let me know what you think. Thanks!!!

    Rogue duck has decided to live with my flock.

    This rouge duck has decided to hang with my Chickens and even though I chased him all the way to the edge of my property he waddled his way back and is sleeping in my hen house. Any suggestions?

    Is this a Rooster? Possible spur growing? What are your thoughts?

    Here's a picture of one of my chicks legs and the color portion is where the spur is. My full grown hen has a rounded spur bud but a few of my chicks ( 2 months old ) have these. When i rub my finger on it, it feels more pointy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Dogs kiled my Pullets

    My pet dogs killed two of my pullet and now I only have three of them left. They dont bother the full grown hens. i suspect because they dont run from the dogs. I want to combine my flock but I'm afraid the dogs will get to the young ones again. Any suggestions?
