My chickens roost in their pen. It's a fenced in big area and at one end,where their roosts are,we have that covered on 3 sides...leaving the one side open for them to come and go. So,their whole coop is outside. I had been going out every other day and cleaning up under their roost. I use...

I have 3 Roosters(I was wanting to keep all 3,but after this,2 of them are going into my freezer this weekend)and 8 hens. They are 17 weeks old. They free range from first light until dusk. Well,all 3 of...

Or is it just mine that have a foot fetish?? LOL

I have 12 Cobb and Ross Chickens. Don't know which are which,they all look exactly the same...all but 2 or 3 have yellow legs,the others have white. But,I'm not really worried about that. I'm just wondering if after all the reading and looking at pics on here,if I can now tell which of my own...
