Thank you, everyone! I'm bummed about having to get rid of the 3, but better to do it sooner than later, I guess. We just can't keep roos in our suburb.
Aw man! 3 of them?! Great, now I'll have to introduce some new hens to get the 4 I wanted to have. lol
So is it the Buff that's in front in the pic that has both of them?
You can also correct me on the breed if I'm wrong!

2 buff orps, 7 weeks (and a glimpse of the more black wyandotte from earlier)...
Ok, I'm from Texas. (Yeah, I know. We don't really 'get' winter. lol) This is my first time with baby chicks, though. I have some two week old chicks and some one week old ones that I got from a lady who kept them under a lamp. My question is, should I slowly wean them from the lamp, or should I...

TIA!!
Thank you. She seemed to perk up a bit when we put her in the dirt and put her in a shallow bath. She was hunting for bugs after that, but her tail is still droopy and she's walking funny.
My oldest hen, Ethel, was in the coop this evening standing there panting pretty heavily. Its been about 106 today, and normally they're in the shade of the outdoor run about this time. Her tail is very droopy and she's walking slowly. She also let us pick her up (to move her to a dirt spot in...
I bought my two hens when they were about 13-14 weeks old and they did not grow up with much of a chance to free range. I've had them about 3 months and during that time they've only come out of their enclosed run a handful of times to peck around the grass and bugs. Should I try spacing out how...
Here I've been trying to coax my two ladies out of their enclosed run for a week, and today, an hour before a major thunderstorm, they decide they want to take full advantage of the run and scope out the place. No complaints here, I'm glad they finally came around but I didn't suspect it...
