    Mystery chick dumped at the shelter

    Hi! This chick was literally dumped at my area shelter. Unfortunately, that means we know actually nothing about it including age, breed, or if it received proper nutrition for the first few weeks of its life that could have affected feather growth. My suspicion due to the feather pattern...

    What do you do with a roo (when you're not allowed to have one)?

    I have my first six chickens and live in an urban area (Washington, DC). Although I bought all six chicks sexed from My Pet Chicken, I am anxious that 2 of my six might turn out to be roos.
