Hi, i have a speckeld sussex approx. 8 months old. She has always been a little weird, always by herself. Then a couple of weeks ago when all of our chickens were free ranging. The speckled sussex out of nowhere grabbed one of our buff silkies with her beak and killed it my snapping its neck. We...

"Maybe its real...or maybe its Eggilline..."

Here are the best pics i could get of her tail feathers. Is she bigger than the average 15 week old CR? She IS the top of the pecking order..

Does this seem like a lot of comb and wattle,(Sorry, shes 15 weeks actually) for a female CR??

Oh..pew. My CR does not have all those black tail feathers yet and i thought she was a male for a sec...she is 14 weeks old and my Columbian Roch thread proved her to be a pullet.

I try not to play favorites but...Well my Columbian Rock who I taught to jump on my lap does get her pick of the treats first. She is really pretty and the top of the pecking order. Buts she's kinda a bully so sometimes I'll give my buff orpington her picks first.

Seems like a good idea but need some input from others.

Anybody? (anybody...anybody)

So a feed store I went to had three chickens in a large old chicken coop. They used them for hatching chicks. There nestboxes where outside in the chicken run though, not inside the coop. Is putting some nestboxes outside In the run a good idea? I put two outside In the run with my 13 week old...
