    Odd Chicken Behaviour?

    I got them March 17th of this year as 3 day old chicks so however old that is. The "coop" is a fenced in area with a make shift shelter I slapped together from scrap materials and I have 8 all together, 2 roosters, and 6 hens.

    Odd Chicken Behaviour?

    My flock will NOT stay out of the chicken pen. I have provided fresh water and lots of scratch and pellets outside of the pen, we don't have dogs running around or an obscene amount of predators about in my area. Why won't they free range?! I take them out of the pen and shut the door and they...

I know how to saw off the spurs and the aggression might be a good thing for protecting the flock against predators right? I actually want a colorful flock but I don't necessarily want all of my chickens to...

I have 2 EE roos, 1 Buff roo, and at least 3 Bared Rock roos. My question is which rooster should I keep to cover all of these different...
