I have 9 week old pullets and roos that I want to incorporate into my existing flock of 30 six month old hens and 1 six month old BLRW rooster. I am not too worried about the pullets, but how will the older rooster react to the 9 week roosters?
I tried posting this in a few other places...I purchased this light sussex 12 weeks ago. I thought she was 15 weeks at the time but I don't think that was right. Her comb and wattle still seem very light; I am just not used to these heavy heritage breeds. Any feed back would be appreciated...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We've had hatchery chickens for 3 years, just starting with heritage breeds and incubating hatching eggs!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 31 in the coop, 37 chicks.
(3) What breeds do you have? Older Hens= 2...
Hi, I purchased this hen about 3 months ago. The breeder called her a "silver diva". I'm wondering if she is a cochin? If so, how old you think she is? We were wondering when she would start laying.
Thanks!
