I got 8 babies this year and I'm 100% sure at least 5 are roos. Hoping I don't have 2 more :fl
Please help, my chicken expert friends! :love
I have some new pictures of my babies! They are between 4 and 6 weeks old, I think about 5 wks, give or take a few days. I hope these can help y'all tell me what we got. The last batch I got was 3 cockerels and 1 hen too, lol! It appears to me that...
Oh yes! I have a very large, completely closed in, coop and two small movable ones... and a LGD, that loves her birds lol!
I think you are all so right about every flock being different. I think I should have more confidence in myself to decide what to do. I just worry about being a great...
So apparently now have 1 silkie cockerel:idunnoas well as a cochin that is working on crowing at the moment. Total, I will have 4 regular sized girls and 2 banty hens (2 toms too, but I don't count them because they could care less about the whole thing lol). Can I keep the cochin and the silkie...

Right! :rolleyes: I am so frustrated with this guy. And he had a lot of birds too. Geese, ducks, guineas, etc. Oh I feel like a dummy!

Im so thankful for y'all. Ive always come to backyardchickens for the real info on all my...
He told me they were about 3 months old and I got them 2 wks ago.
Oh my!!! Then the mixes are clearly not what he told me. Lawd. This guy...
I texted him today to tell him my hen gobbled. We shall see if he returns the text.
I am not sure how in the world this guy couldn't get all his info...
I have been wanting turkeys forever and especially since I had to give away my guineas because they started bothering the neighbors after 4 years of staying in our yard, darn things, (released them at a friend's drive-thru safari though :)) So I finally bought 1 tom (jake?) and 1 hen from a...
I am not super picky about breed although i already have one BB Red (best chicken I've ever had) so that would be preferable but as i said breed is not that important.
Thanks!
Here are my other fluffs if anyone can take a look and tell me what they are. All the black ones have feathered feet and straight combs it looks like. You guys are awesome btw!
