    roosters or hens

    I purchased 6 Araucana chicks from my local, reputable Ace Hardware. They are about 4 1/2 weeks old. I was told they were all hens. But I have tail feathers growing out and I am concerned half are Roosters. What pictures do you need to help me figure out what they are?? Head shots, legs...

    Plastic netting vs chicken wire

    Here is a brief outline of what I am attempting. Pen is 21' X 12' X 7' (H). The house will be 5'9" X 5'9", roughly 5' tall. I have several rolls of fencing, 2" X 4" openings that I intend to completely enclose the pen with, including top. I was going to completely encclose it in chicken wire...
