    My Hens are Broken -_-

    How do I start free ranging?

    Hey y'all! Right now my chickens are happily in their coop and run, but I would like to give them some time free ranging as well. How do I start free ranging? Will they stay near the run?

    Still not sure...hen or roo?

    This little Plymouth Barred Rock is still confusing me. About 13 weeks old, seems to have hen coloring but that tail looks so roo! Plus her comb is much more red and large than her sister's. So what do y'all say, hen or rooster?

    Confusing Plymouth Barred Rock!

    This chicken is confusing me. About 11/12 weeks old Plymouth Barred Rock. Seems to have the coloring of a hen, but a larger and more red comb and more yellow legs than his/her sister, plus the tail seems more rooster shaped. Hen or roo?

    Adding 1 more chicken?

    I have a roo that is 16 weeks, 5 hens that are 13 weeks, and 2 hens that are about 10 weeks. I would really like to add one more hen, maybe a little older than the ones that I have.

    Hanging out inside the coop?

    I have 10 chickens right now, ages 10 weeks, 13 weeks, and one 16 week roo. Today for the first time they have been going into their coop during the day. All of them. Evey other day they spend out in their well secured run. Is there a reason they're doing this? I cleaned the coop today and they...

    Laying Age by Breed?
