    adding 2 new girls

    As long as the oldies and newbies stick with each other, they'll be fine. I would only worry if one of the newbies integrates and the other doesn't (within a day or two). The funky egg thing is to be expected, don't worry. I wouldn't give them separate roosting/drinking/eating spaces...

    How should I do this merger of chicks

    If it helps, those WL's with the huge combs are definately boys. My two girls at 16 weeks don't have even 1/3 that much comb/wattle. What are you going to do with the extra boys? What time do the bigger ones go out to freerange? If they range in the evening and pretty much come home and...

    7 week olds! Can you see anything yet?

    Ethel is iffy to me. Comb is fine but her tail worries me a bit. She's probably a pullet but you may want to keep an eye on her for 2 more weeks or so.

    Will leghorn have pinkish color at base of feathers?

    My white leghorns actually feathered in some reddish feathers very early on. They were surprise pullets so I thought they might be very light sexlinks but by 6 weeks they were solid white again.

    Breeds and Genders needed <3 Please and Thank you :)

    You have two of each. The RIR and one black in the first pic are pullets; others roos. I'm not sure what your black chicks are though, that's a lot of white even for a hatchery australorp at that age (in my experience) and too much black on the legs, but perhaps someone else will know for sure.

    Any idea what I have?

    Are they from a hatchery? They look like mixes to me. And just my $.02 here, but it was obvious to me what you meant by ba and bsl and a perfectly good use of the abreviation. I certainly didn't think you honestly thought one of those chooks was a buff anything

    level ground

    Slopes are great; even a pretty steep slope is fine for the chickens (harder for us and fencing though)

    Predator proofing question....

    If you have a 6' privacy fence and lock the coop at night, a skirt is quite sufficient Anything getting through that would probably get in your coop no matter what you did.

    Help! How to put up a wire fence on a slope.

    I'd make the bottom of the fence taller to help mitigate the effect of the slope. Adding an extra 4 feet towards the bottom might make it possible to just slant the wire and the extra wire can be folded down and out as part of your skirting.

    Hello from mass.

    Welcome from central Mass And no, I doubt it's warmer here LOL.

    Opinions? I thought they were white leghorns...

    With olive legs, I'd assume she could be an EE. For your other 'larger' leghorns, consider that they could be white rocks

    Oh boy, Oh boy!!!

    Sorry, I think they're all roos.
