    Figuring out my boys - please help

    Hi there, I have a wonderful 4-H girl that has offered to take my roosters for me. I know that I have one boy for sure, maybe 2 or 3. I would like for them all to go together, and don't want to accidentally give away a girl. I have checked once before, but not that everyone is a bit older...

    Starting then stopping laying? Is this normal?

    How to tame older chicks(ens)

    I need some help. I was so excited to receive chickens from my wonderful husband and kids last Christmas. (They actually surprised me with a bag of chicken food and because I am sharp, I figured out that I would be getting chickens.) I brought my first day olds home in mid-April and enjoyed...

    I'm new to all of this chicken craziness too!

    For Christmas my dear husband and kids surprised me with chickens. Well they actually gave me a bag of chicken food but I got the idea! I did that goofy laughing, crying thing because I was so excited. I always wanted chickens but had never asked for them or really pursued it so it was a...
