    Does size matter

    I purchased four unsexed white crested black polish chicks from a local feed store three weeks ago. Now two of them are almost twice the size of the other two, all seemed the same size for the first week. Is this any sign that the two larger may be roosters? Thanks ahead of time for any info.

    night tme temps

    At what age is it safe to keep chicks outside with nighttime temps in the low 70's? They will have a box inside the run with a light inside it if they need it.

So I know two of them are laying, as I have also seen two different ones in the nest boxes and later found an egg. The problem is counting those first two eggs I...

    changing to layer feed

    My red sex links are about 14-15 weeks old. They are not laying and I understand it will be another 3-4 weeks before they do. Now it is time for me to buy some more feed. Would it be ok to switch over to layer feed now? What harm could it do? Thanks ahead of time for any answers.
