    1 week age difference in 1 brooder okay?

    We have 2 different hatches about 1 week age difference. Can we put both together in one brooder or do we have to worry that the older ones will hurt / kill the younger ones? Do we have to introduce them?

    Pasturefarms chicken review

    Gender please

    We hope it is a pullet but based on the development of the comb and waddles at nearly 7 weeks is it saying a rooster. Another indication for rooster would be the heavy white on the chest compared to the others. The breed is speckled Sussex. All pictures are of the same chicken and every once in...
