    Choosing a Rooster...

    Our first batch of straight run chick's are 11.5 weeks. 7 boys, 6 girls. 6 barred rock + 1 white rock boy. They still act like goofy little kids. None seem to have turned into hormone jerks yet. White rock is stand offish, but they all are still friendly enough to stay underfoot when I'm...

    Is 8 weeks too early for a cockerel to be in the mood?

    My rock chick's are 8 weeks old. One has been crowing for 3 weeks, and the others are barely trying to crow (7 total). We aren't keeping all of them long term, only till it's time for freezer camp. Estimated to be June 1. Today I saw my white rock cockerel mount one of the hens. Jump on her...

    New chicks bought after work.

    So, I bought 6 EE's from TSC this evening. Came home, setup the brooder and MHP, and added the chick's. I dipped their beaks and gave them a quick once over, but they all just stood there and peeped loudly. I got several drops of nutri drench water on their beaks and they all seemed to...

    Am I a light brahma?

    I bought a plymouth rock mix from Ideal about 5 weeks ago. I have 11 barred rocks and 2 others that were supposed to be white rocks. I'm not so sure about one of them, because it has feathered legs. Alfredo (white rock cockerel) and Perlo (feather legged white pullet - I hope) look almost...

    Creating bad habits?

    My chick's are 4 weeks old. They've been brooder in their outdoor coop using a modified MHP. Like everyone else, I enjoy spending time with them and want them to be social. They run to the door when I get home and it's fun to hang out with them. They're slightly nuts, they eat out of...
