    Chickens acting strange?

    Hey everyone! My chickens at night are all crowding around the pop door and sleeping there, instead of roosting up on the bars... They're about 7 weeks old right now, so I'm wondering if they are just too young and havent learned to get onto the roosting bars at night. But during the day...

    Delaware chick, guy or gal?

    \ Guy or gal? Thoughts? She also doesnt have any pronounced plumage on her tail, and is mostly down still around 1.5 weeks old.

    Guy or gal Delaware chick

    Trying to figure out if this one is a guy or gal. Thoughts? He/she seems to be a dominant little critter in the flock. Anyone who gets in their spot they get nipped quickly and pushed out of their spot on the roost where you see them currently. Theyre actually one of the smaller ones in the...

    brooder/ 2 day old chicks
