I think 1,2,3 are pullets....4's a roo. Although my BA's Combs got red early....I compaired the leg size. Thick legs....roo. Still post again in a few weeks to be sure.

Hello, years ago one of my hens legs were like that....research botulism (above). With my girl I gave her baby liquid vitamins (without iron) and epson salt mixed with water. Within a week she was fine. I don't know if it was the vitamins or epson salt mixture but it worked for her. Hope...

When I first bring my chicks home, I put newspaper down and paper towels. Chicks will peck at everything. About two weeks or so I put in pine bedding from TSC, the bigger (flaked) bedding. I still keep a paper towel under the feeder so they can peck at the feed that falls around it. I...

I think #2 might be a girl.....When I let my hen hatch out eggs, my mixed breed chicks got red combs early....I thought they were all boys. In a few weeks you'll be able to tell better. Also, look at the legs....thick legs is a boy thing.

Three years ago my broody hen hatched eggs.....3 were boys. To this day I have them in a seperate coop and run together. I never seperated them. They did the pecking order early and they get along fine. .

How old are they? I would say top pic...roo. Second pic... pullet.

I would cut the feathers around the wounds...soak him in warm water with peroxide...use rubber gloves pull the maggots off with tweezers. repeat water mixture-tweezers till they are all off. Use Blue Kote to cover the wounds or a antibiotic ointment. Keep him warm and inside till he starts to...

I have 7 roosters.....3 in their own pen/run.....3 in our green coop (they grew up together)....and 1 with my hens. I have so many roosters because two years ago I let two of my broody hens hatch eggs. All of my roosters are friendly. I can go pick them up and hold/carry them around. CJ...

If you kept her you would have to keep her in a seperate area because other hens would go after her and the chicks once they hatched....quarantine....1) So that would take care of the first concern of yours. 2) You would have to get her at night, she wouldn't try to get away. 3) They don't...

I have used vanilla air fresheners....they do work. I just hang them inside the coops. I'm not sure about the mister..is it in the run that connects the two coops? If the flies are in the coop...try the fresheners.

I say keep her and the chicks. If they really cared about her they would of come looking for her. I guess they don't care and didn't come looking for her if she has been sitting on the eggs a week now. She can be killed anytime being out in the open, unprotected. If they don't even have a...

Hi, How old are they? Tail feathers and saddle feathers are different....Saddle feathers are the feathers on the back before the tail. Roosters saddle feathers will be pointed and have a shine to them. You can check to see if your LO has any growing.....Hold him and move the feathers on...

Ok...Thanks! I will just have to keep telling myself when they stress out..."the new coop is bigger/nicer/the run has more shade."

Hello, I have 12 hens and 1 rooster (ages range from 10 to 3 years old) in an 8x8 coop. My DH built a 9x10 coop. I have 6 new pullets about 13 weeks old and 3 roosters that grew up togehter. Question: I want to move the older girls and the new pullets into the bigger coop and put the...

I'd wait a month or two more....The legs are thin, my EE roos had thick legs....Wait to be sure.

I'm no expert, but I would say wait another few weeks. I have two BA's, now 11 weeks old. I got them at the feed store when they were two weeks old. They looked like your chicks (one of each) in your pictures...they are both pullets. In a few weeks you'll be able to tell better. Hope this...

All pullets...I have 7 - 10 week olds. 1 ee (she looks just like yours). I also have 1 BR, 2 BA's, 2 Cochins, and 1 SLW....You have all pullets!

Hello, we have a girl that would fly out of the run....there I put deer cloth over it. In the evenings (after work) I let my girls out...they never leave the yard. My DH trimmed her wings....u can feel where the feathers come out of the wing bone, you don't need to get close to it at...

Post the state you live in.....somone will want a good broody hen. I have a cochin that goes broody....she does and acts just like yours....I won't hatch out eggs..(get roos then keep them) I give mine wooden eggs from the craft store to sit on. After the 25 days are up..she's done sitting...

Hello, I'm no expert... How old are they? When my two PR's were small, I thought they were roos. I looked at the legs on yours...they don't look big....MY opinion....pullets.
