    Returning to the nest?

    I have read that free rangers will return their roost at night. But will they return to their nestbox in the day? Or will they pick out choice locations in the yard, to lay eggs?

    Pullets acting like Roos

    This morning my 2 week old RIR and BO pullets, are jumping up in eachothers face, and fighting like roosters. Is this normal for pullets? Are they trying to establish a pecking order? Or could they possibly be roosters?

    Warren chickens

    My local feed store said they will have in March. RIRs, black sexlinks, and Warrens? What are Warrens? Has anybody ever had them? When I did a search on them, all I could come up with, was that they are a chicken bred for battery cages.

    Coop hieght

    I will be getting some RIRs this spring. They will be behind a 6' wooded fence, with no roof. Is this high enough to keep them in, or do I need to clip their wings? If so, how often do I clip? And do I clip 1 or 2 wings?
