    Integrating new flock members, HELP!!

    So I have read that trying to integrate new birds into an established flock is easier when the established flock is younger. The established flock consists of 1 light brahma cockerel, 2 light brahma pullets, 3 olive egger pullets, and 2 midnight majesty marans pullets, all of which are about 18...

    Help sexing 7 week old light brahmas

    So basically as the post suggests, I need help sexing my light brahmas. They were all supposed to be female, however I think Kirby may be a little Cockrell.
