So I have year old hens in the coop now and just brought home same age and size hens. Can I try to integrate them this weekend or do I truly need to wait the few weeks quarantine?

Ohh. I'm still learning. Suppose I was confused bc they have the same pattern as a barred rock. But they do have shiny blackish green in their feathers here and there

Well if y'all are right I'll have 2 barred rock Roos up for grabs. I already have 1. Can't have 3

What about the black one? Any ideas?

No. my neighbor hatched them and his rooster is a black something. Not sure of his breed

Pullets or cockerels???

What could this be. I recently lost 3 hens to what seemed like an intestinal infection.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to design some new additions to the coop. Hopefully it works out for the best. They are all so sweet individually

I tried at 6 weeks and that's when we lost one. That was only 2 nights in the coop. I'm still learning as I go. So they need plenty of space to get away. Ok. I may just leave my current flock alone and find a new home for my pretty boy

If I had to guess the babies are 2-3 mos and my big girls are 7 mos

Thanks! How long should I wait to put him in? My neighbor gave me 3 babies and one sustained fatal injuries from my girls. The big girls weren't happy about them so the remaining 2 are in a separate cage inside the coop to keep them protected. But they are growing quick and I can't keep them...

I was afraid of that. I love him. He's so pretty but idk how my older girls are going to take to him. They're pretty mean to the white one in there. I have them separated and already got rid of a rooster bc he was overprotective of the girls when my kids would get near

Help! Idk if this is a he or she.

. Thanks. That's what I thought but I'm kinda missing the little guy. So I guess seeing my hens act crazy is making me second guess giving him away

So I just got rid of my rooster and my hens who are normally docile are now charging each other! What do I do!!??

I know this thread is really old. Just wanted to say hi to all my fellow slidellians.

Ok what about this one.

2 mos. here's a better pic. One of them was crowing yesterday and I've been suspicious of this one lol.
