Is there way to train your chickens so that they won't run away when you try to catch them? We have to trap ours in the coop and even then catching them is a chore. What can I do so They will allow me to handle them?
Do all Cockerels have wattles? I have a young (12 - 15 weeks) bird that I am pretty sure is a Roo, but I cannot definitively tel! (S)He has a pea comb, and no wattles. Do all roos/cockerels have wattles?
Hi all! I'm Amy. I live in MO, about 5 minutes from the St. Louis Airport. I'm a single mom & i live with my 22 year old son (who is on the autism spectrum) & my almost 16 year old daughter. I also have a 24 year old daughter who has given me a 2 year old grandson & 8 week old identical twin...
Is there a reason they all did this? I had been in the run with them for about 10 minutes at this point. They've only been "out" in the run a few days (I got them at 5-7 weeks old, then had to finish the coop - they're 7-9 weeks now).
