    Rooster flock questions

    I have just started a rooster flock with four 17 week old silkies. We separated them from the pullets about 3 weeks ago and just started to allow them to free range on Sunday. I have noticed now that they are free ranging they are fighting more....is this normal? Are they just figuring out there...

    Free Ranging

    Today was a big day at Ruby’s Roost, we let the roosters out to free range for the first time. A little back story....This is our first year raising chickens. We didn’t know about the importance of sexing chickens and got 6 roosters out of 16 birds 🤦🏼‍♀️. This obviously wasn’t going to work so...

    White Silkie Roos - Port Huron Michigan area

    I have 4 beautiful 13 week old white Silkie roos looking for a home. They are very docile and would be a great rooster addition to your hen flock. We handle them often so they are used to human interaction. Each one is a little different. We just started raising chicken this year and ended up...

    When can I introduce baby chicks?

    When is it good to introduce younger chicks to older chicks? This is my first year raising chickens. I got 14 chicks on May 10th so they are just over 12 weeks old, on July 2nd I got 2 more babies. I currently have them all in the same barn but the 4 week old chicks are separate from the older...

    White leghorn sexing help

    If anyone else was like me and wondered if their “pullets” they got from TSC we’re actually pullets this post might help sex your chicks. I purchased these 2 on July 2, 2020. They are 4 weeks old today. I questioned if they both were pullets from day one but the clerk assured me they were in the...

    Cracked beak or birth defect?

    I have a 12 week old silkie that has a chip in her beak, I’m not sure if she chipped it on something or if she was born like that? Has anyone ever seen this before? Will she be ok? Thank you!

    another rooster?

    Wondering if I have another rooster? I bought these two at TSC on June 2nd, they were labeled white leghorn pullets, the store clerk said they were only a few days old. I think they are different ages or one is definitely a roo and growing much bigger than the other....thoughts?

    Port Huron Michigan - 4 White silkie roosters - Free to good home

    We are new to raising chickens and have 5 roosters in our flock of 14 birds. I hate the thought of giving up any of our babies but we have too many roosters for our little flock. These silkies have been pets to us for the last 10 weeks and are very loving, hoping to re-home them to a larger flock.
