After quarantining our new hens we put them in with our old hens... We had 4 old hens and 1 roo and got 4 new hens the exact same age as our new ones born the same week. The problem I'm having is my old hens are wusses. My new hens are like hard core prison gens. They came from a large flock...
I have 2 speckled Sussex birds around 3-4 months of age. I was told they are both hens one definitely is but this one I'm not sure about.... It's tail is different from the hen. Any guesses male or female? I just discovered that 4 of my wyondette hens are Roos :(
The top pic is my female the...
He said I needed to cut back feed now so they have to forage more so they are not too fat for winter?? News to me but I don't think my birds are fat yet anyway :). Does anybody have feelings on adding a few more birds to my flick since I'm now down to just a handful? Do you think I will run into...
I got them from a local place (I kind of live in chickenvillle). I wanted organic free range. This morning I snuck out and just sat and watched... All of my wyandottes are males :(. I'm so upset. I did, however speak to the chicken rep from local ag dept and he told me always order/ get double...
Thanks so much for your input... God I'm hoping they are not all Roos! This is a pic of them when we got them (in early may) the silver in the pic is a guaranteed roo. So far one other Lacey started to crow 2 weeks ago. The only make that seems to show make behaviors is the silver roo Francisco...

Ok so taking pics of the chicks is not my forte! Here is my Sussex in question
She is my youngest but her tail is slightly different than the one I think is female
The wyondettes in the picture will be 4 months on Thursday according to the breeder (we got them in may and they were 3 weeks old then). I have 1roo that was sup to be a too that is 2 weeks older and 1 roo that was sup to be a hen that is 2 weeks older too. I think all my wyondettes are Roos...
I'm pretty sure the one in the second picture on the right is female and I have two black ones I am also fairly positive about. The wyondette s are throwing me off. The silver one I was sure about but now I question all of them :(
Help! We are new to the chicken world and now feeling overwhelmed. Our chicks are now 4-5 months old. We were supposed to have 8hens and one rooster. I know for a fact that we have two roosters and I fear most of our hens are Roos :( .sorryt he pics are bad but I've trained the chicks and they...
