We have 6 chickens who have been allowed to roam all over our yard. That's been nice, but now I am really getting sick of all the chicken poop in the yard and on the walkways. These chickens think they are own the yard.
If I want to fence them into an area/pen, how are they going to handle...
We got 6 babies the day after Easter. Not sure how old they are, but they all have little wings now. Well, all except one bard rock. (We got 3 RRR and 3 bard rocks). She looks puffy and fuzzy.
I let them out of the box to run and spread their wings. One BR just stood there. I got a...

After what happened to us last year (6 chicks that ended up to be all roosters), I want to get chicks that are definitely little girls.

But since I did that, I've gotten no eggs. That was Sunday.
Also, they are not roaming out onto the lawn. They just...
Here are some pics of them: Are they still all roosters?
We have 2 white ones (you can see one of them with his eyes closed, which he's done since the beginning), 2 brown, 1 lite brown, and 1 full darker brown, aka foot pecker.
Ok, I know alot of you said I had all roosters, but I am still holding out hope I've got one hen!
But the newest problem I am having is the chickens pecking my feet if I go into their pen, inside or out. And I mean pecking so hard they break the skin and there's blood.
It's only a couple...
My chicks almost 4 weeks old. They grew fast!
I've taken pictures and was wondering if anyone can tell me if they are hens or roosters. The roosters are going back to the farm. Can't keep them. I need to know soon what these guys are before the kids get too seriously attached.
