Hello!
I have a 14 week Delaware rooster in excellent health that I am looking to trade for a healthy hen. Preferable a breed that is cold hardy, docile and not too old:)
I live in East Aurora NY, 25 min outside of Buffalo.
I am a first time chicken owner and am suspecting my Delaware (14 wks) of being a rooster. No crowing and it squats when I press the middle of her back. But she is huge compared to my other birds!
So, I have a new coop with about 6 inches of pine shavings in the bottom. I am trying the deep litter method and was giving the shaving a stir when I noticed that the bottom layer of shavings is wet. All over. No sign of rain leakage. The coop is about 16" off the ground, the floor is treated...
