I have another suspicious 5 week old. I’m thinking my purchase of 6 pullet EE’s might actually have been more cockerels than pullets! Thank you in advance!!
I have 3 CQ’s that I got about 4 weeks ago, pullets just reaching laying stage (1 lays). I have 6 chicks that are 5 weeks old. Can I move them into the coop with the 3 older ones? I am hearing 2 weeks of getting used to each other. I don’t really have a way to keep them separate. Ideas?

OMG! gave the girls a cut up strawberry today! I have never laughed so hard in my life!
At first they wouldn't even try them, then my ever inquisitive Barnevelder, decided she would try some. What a hoot! Once she had a piece in her beak, they all wanted what she had. Chasing each other...
Help! This feed has Graphic POOP details...
I have a 2 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte with a reddish vent, and chocolate pudding like poop. Other 6 chicks are pooping normal, and vents seem to be normal color.
Thanks
So, I decided to give my 2 week old chicks a special treat today... warm oatmeal. Haha..all they did was shake their heads and walk in it..
I haven't given them anything other than chick feed, I tried a piece of romaine lettuce, that too, walked on it and then 3 of them pooped on it...
My 7 little chicks, Welsummer, Barnevelder, Light Brahma, Silver Laced Wyandotte (2), Buff Orpington, and EE are acting very strange. They are eating and drinking great. But when I come into the room to check on them. They line up with their little heads facing the wall away from me. I...
