Ok! I won't stress out about it too much. One of the older chickens does look like she has bullying potential (she tries to police both of the food containers in the morning) but gets bored about an hour after they are out. I'll keep watching to make sure there are no injuries. Thanks again!

So, I am trying to introduce two younger chickens (5 months old) to two older ones that I have (about a year and a half old). We had them separated by a common fence for just over 2 weeks. The intention was to keep them separated for a month, but the little rascals learned how to do a "flap and...

Yaaaaaay! That's great. I have become attached and didn't want to find her a new home. Thanks!!

Oh! I'm glad everyone thinks its a hen! Not that I, myself, would mind a rooster... but I live in a town where roos are a no-no. I'm also glad that the small pink comb was noticed. That was the major trait that had me holding on to the hope that it was, in fact, a hen. Here are a couple more...

Any guesses If my EE "hen" is a Rooster? I'm thinking that she is a he... but this little one hasn't started to crow yet. S/he is showing the dominant behavioral signs of a roo. S/he has also developed some iridescent tail feathers. Hmmm.... Just looking for a few opinions. Thanks!

Hi there, I just got three new chicks that are 8 weeks old. They have their feathers and are outside in their coop. It is about 60 degrees out right now, but the temperature is supposed to drop to about 40 degrees tonight. Does anyone know if I need to put a light or a heat lamp in there with...

Well, I am located near Asheville, NC. When I first discovered my roo situation a few days ago, I really thought that I had been scammed on purpose. At this point I have not contacted the farm because, the more I think about it, I think they man who sold them to me may have been the one who was...

Thanks everyone. I love this forum! Everyone is so helpful! I was indeed considering taking them back to the person who sold them to me. It was about an hour from me so I may check a couple places first to see if anyone near me wants a roo or two. They are awfully pretty little guys...

Ok. So, after throwing them some scratch this morning and investigating further... I think I have all roos. I also think that I had the "wool pulled over my eyes." The remaining two that are smaller and henlike, seem to have pointed neck feathers. They wouldn't get close enough yesterday for me...

Hey thanks everyone! I'll try to post some pics in the morning and maybe you can help out. I have certainly heard and seen one of them crow and another one of them is starting to get the curved tail feathers. The rest are just really big! I am not totally certain of all their breeds but one is...

Oof. Yes, I am afraid that even giving them away may be a task. Sheesh. Thanks.

So, a few months back I bought 7 chickens that were around 10 weeks old from a nearby farm. I was told that they had been sexed and that they were all hens. I know there is some chance of getting roos but, as they are approaching 6 months old, it is becoming quite apparent that 5 of the 7 are...

Thanks! Right after I posted that I started reading some of the other posts in the forum about EEs and had (mostly) come to that conclusion. I had only seen the buff/brown coloring before... Thanks again!

Hi everyone. I just got these chicks at 10 weeks of age. The person I bought them from wasn't sure what breeds they were and I was hoping someone here could help me out! I don't know much about the different breeds but I am trying to learn! The ones I hope to identify are the mottled black and...
