    SLW Roo?

    So I got this one little SLW straight run chick 11 weeks ago. I figured after the first 2 weeks it was a roo because it grew it's waddles and comb early. Since then it hasn't developed much more and I now have people saying he's a she :) I'd LOVE your opinions! This is the only SLW I've ever had...

    taking in rescue chickens?

    I have a 4x8 coop with 10 chickens. I know the 3-4 sq ft per chicken rule, but someone has asked me to take in three more from a rescue situation. Do you think they will be ok?

    Will she start laying soon?

    My 16 week old white leghorn has developed a bright red comb and waddles very quickly. She isn't doing the squat like I've been told to watch for, but maybe I just haven't noticed...anyway, she is from our first batch of chicks. We have one other so far that is laying but we got her that way :)...

    stopped laying one week after rehoming?

    Last week we added a new hen to our flock. All of our other chickens are still too young to lay (most are around 12 weeks) but this girl we just acquired has been laying for a few weeks. She laid an egg the day after we got her and continued daily until the 7th day when she stopped altogether...
