This little girl decided to get out of the crate that i had her in & none of my other birds seemed to bother her. I have fostered her and another 6 week old and they are inseparable. I have a mixed flock. 7 two year olds & 7 four month olds & a large rooster. Just found this today. Doesn’t seem...
I have a mixed flock as people keep giving me birds that either are alone because of predators or just but and don’t want that many. I have to start saying no. Now i have 7 two year olds including a very large but good rooster. 7 five months olds which i brooded for 2 months in my garage because...

Bought 8 pullets at tractor supply supposed to be hens but off i was a betting woman the multicolored chic with the big red headdress looks like a rooster and he manages the rest of the chics. I'mm alright with that because i hasn't had a rooster in a few years. My last one was very aggressive...
