When I am researching coops it always pops up with the coop, and a run. Does the square...
This is my first time owning chickens ever. I tried to search and I may not be wording it right. I have 2 RiRs, 1 BSL, 2 EEs, the 2 buff orpingtons I have aren't anywhere near laying yet. The bigger girls are about 18 weeks, and their faces are red. I am just not sure how red they need to be...
I assume I have enough pullets to my roo. I have 7 pullets, and 1 roo for my backyard flock.

I have a chick I am fully convinced is a roo. Chick in question, any help is appreciated. Wednesday looks for a fight at every turn. I have some chicks who are a week or two older and have put wednesday in their place. The comb doesnt have any color yet, but it is more prominent than the others...
