    Clipping wings because of garden

    Well.....I can't seem to keep my chickens out of my garden. I have a garden fence and they just fly right over it! I guess I'll have to clip their wings.

    Can a hen ever "Cockadoodle doo" when she is young?

    I posted recently that my Barred Rock was "rooing" the other morning and a friend told me that his hen did this a couple of times and he thought it was a rooster. It turned out to be a hen though. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I don't want to be in denial but I'm hoping she is...
