    louisa Virginia

    Me and my husband just bought a house in bumpass va which is in louisa county. It is on 5 acres. I currently have 9 hens and a rooster. I have looked all over but can't find if I will have an issue keeping my chickens there. Does anyone know the chicken laws there?

    well i'm pretty sure this is a ee roo..

    i'm almost 100% that the one in the front is a boy, which i don't mind. but the one behind him is this a girl? she is camera shy lol. she has a small comb, some pink on it but mostly yellow and its nowhere near as developed as his. she is mostly grey. oh yeah and they are 5 weeks old.

    EE pullets have yellow bump as comb. Normal?

    I can tell one is a roo. But the girls have a bump there that's yellow. Is that normal? Also if one has a big pink comb at 3 weeks and the others don't does that mean the others are definitely girls?

    one of my ameraucanas has a mini comb at 3 weeks. She is the only one to have bumpies like that. The other girls have a flat spot there. Does this mean I have a roo?

    still scared of me!?

    my 2 week old chicks still run from my hand and 1/2 of them are scared while I hold them! I go talk to them atleast 8 times a day. If I get in the box with them some will eat out of my hand but mostly they are running away. When do they become social or am I doing it wrong?

    my chicks are 2 weeks old and I started giving them grit and they got lettuce. They loved it. I just wanna know how to give them the grit. Mixed in food or it's own plate? Also one of my chicks had no interest in the lettuce and even looked a little confused. Is this normal for the runt?
