    Integrating different ages of pullets

    Flock of 5 one big bully

    Hello, I have 5 chickens ( 1 EE, BPR, black sexlink, French copper black maran, white leghorn) that hatched in May and now are all laying consistently. Since maturity our sexlink is a bit of a jerk. She has started plucking out 2 of the other hen’s butt feathers. A neighbor gave me some stuff to...

    Hello! In May we got 6 chicks, two of which I think were a week or two old and the other four only a few days. They were all supposed to be female and are all different breeds but we’re starting to wonder if our Australorp is actually a male. (S)he is one of the older ones, so about 12 weeks...
