    Tail feathers MIA

    Picked up some hens the other day and this girl came along. She’s missing her tail feathers. Previous owners thought maybe stress moulting? Any ideas? She seems okay other than maybe a bit more sleepy than the others. Still eating and drinking. Exploring.

    Removing Roos and introducing new hens?

    We got 5 chicks and have since discovered 4 are roos and one is a hen.

But then will the hen get lonely...

    10 week old Austra Whites

    New to backyard chickens and got some chicks about a month ago. They are now 10 week old austra whites. Any ideas if these are all roos or any potentially could be hens? We have heard the occasional roo sound but minimal and not from all. Thanks!
