We have two Rhodebars and two buff Orpingtons. They are 17 weeks old and both buffs are Roos (crowing). Other than not laying eggs, and the noise from crowing is it ok to keep them with the two Rhodebars who are female? Or should I give them away? We only want the chickens for egg laying but...

Lol sorry, I looked at your join date and thought it was the post date...instead of the posting date..

How about an update?

Finally got the girls to come into their coop at night. It's been raining for two days and the stay in the rain. Is this normal? You would think they would come in out of the rain but they won't.:(

Two nights in a row they have come into their coop..yea:)

Thanks, I only have the four.. They all go in and out during the day..one of the Orps I suspect to be a roo but I'm not 100% sure. He/she occasionally chases them but doesn't seem to really bother the m that bad.

Kelsie, my daughter informed me that the Rhodebars were in the coop last night and she had to round up the buffs after dark...we left the coop open all day yesterday. We have feed and water both inside and outside the coop...maybe I should remove the food from the outside.

I have two buff Orpingtons and two Rhodebars all are 5 to 6 weeks old. I built a new coop with a heat source inside and nice enclosed run outside. I moved them to the new coop yesterday. My coop is quiet roomy but there are no windows. I've been told that I should leave them in their new coop at...

I once had a BO who layed 5 yrs after she died. She may still be laying today.

We purchased two, two week old rhodebar chicks from a very reputable breeder. We were told they were both female but for my own curiosity, does anyone know where I could see pics of male and female chicks so I can see the difference?
