    Boys or girls?

    I'm new to all this, is it normal for some roosters to appear less genetically dominate regarding their comb size and color. I was hoping it meant the smaller ones were girls regardless. Bummer.

    RIR Roos or Hens

    The top one we pretty much know is a boy. The RIR one on the bottom middle has no comb to speak of so we think that is a girl. The 2 RIR on the left and right are identical w/ a medium light orange comb. It was really hard to get their pictures.

    Boys or girls?

    The one with the bigger redder comb is definitely a boy, he crows every morning. However, not sure about his friend, she has a little but smaller lighter comb and does not crow. Could she be a girl?

    RIR Roos or Hens

    We obviously have one girl and one boy but the other 2 are a mystery to us. The mystery 2 chicken's combs are smaller and less red then the 1 obvious roo but significantly larger then the the little girl. What do you think?

    Free range feed vs. pellets

    So do you think I should keep them in their run longer in the morning where it is mostly sand and they would be forced to eat their pellet feed for awhile before letting them out to forage?

    Free range feed vs. pellets

    We have started letting our 11 week old chickens free range for about 11 hours a day. In addition to throwing out the occasions fruit and vegetable scrapes they forage around our yard and garden constantly while eating very little if their pellets. Will this be a bad combination for good...

    When do we give up roos?

    I told you I was a newbie, ha ha. So a "fertilized" egg is edible? I know I must sound ridiculous to you! :-)

    When do we give up roos?

    Newbie question here, we know we have several cockerels that eventually have to go when they start crowing for sure but if we don't want to raise more baby chicks when do they need to go? Keep in mind all of our chickies are 10 weeks old and have not laid any eggs yet.

    Are these Silkies roosters?

    What makes you think the white one is a roo, out of curiosity? They are 10 weeks old. We were hoping he/she was a pullet because she is our favorite. :-( She is very timid, calm and sweet. Does that change your mind?
