So as usual I hatched out some more chicks. They were healthy. They had adequate heat, water, food, bedding, etc. Around 2 weeks old they started dying. The first day 10, second day 4 or 5 more and so on. It took around 5 days for them to all die off. Now I suspect that my husband brought in a...
I ordered 15 pullets from Ideal Poultry. It was the surprise special. I thought I would get a packing list but didn't . I took a top and frontal picture of each breed. Remember they are all pullets.

I'm still not confident enough to determine myself. There is 7 to determine. My guess is 2 cockerels and 5 hens. I am questionable about one. I think it could be a Roo also. These are all barnyard mixes. They were all hatched at the same time.
Well I'm a little sad. For the past 2 weeks our Roo (Brown Leghorn 7 months old in my profile pic) has been attacking me. The first time he attacked my daughter, (she is 6) I won't allow her in the coop anymore to gather the eggs. Then one day 2 weeks ago I accidentally step on his foot while...
Need some help deciding, I thought he was one thing then I looked at some pictures now I'm thinking he is another breed all together. He is 6 months old.
