Last week I brought home my new pullets there are 73 of them. They are being kept inside away from my old flock (who have shelter also just not in the "hen house") I got a rooster with these hens......They've been getting along great and the "hen house" is huge big enough that they have room...
He is 18 months old. Beautiful bird. A couple of weeks he went out there and was sitting on the roost. Didn't think much of it...and then he stood up and I saw why he was roosting mid day. As soon as he stood up the hens around him started pecking at his feet and they had his feet looking...

when I bought mine this spring I was told Delawares are the way to go. That they grew the fastest and got the biggest. So I ordered Delawares. I've been disappointed as they are narrow bodied and are taking a long long time to put on any kind of weight. I keep reminding myself I can't expect...
