I have a question about ventilation and how much is necessary. We live in the High Plains of NM, and are subject to very high winds and freezing temps in the winter. As we built our coop I may have made it to winterized. I have caulked all gaps and places where the wind might rip through. For...

OK, so here is another question. One of my chickens is definitly a rooster, and my husband and neighbors are not happy with that at all. How hard is it to give these guys away? I love him, but, we really just want hens. Also, if my Sultans are a pair, am I better off letting them go together...

Thank you! The second bird is the one that currently crows, and the other ( with the slicked back feathers) is the one that acts a little more...girly I guess you would say It is also smaller and less aggressive. I will see if I can find a better pic of their sides.

I have 2 roosters and 1 hen, they all seem to be the same breed, and they have the same characteristics of a Sultan. They are bantam's. The hen though, does not look like the pictures of the Sultans that I have seen. I am curious because what I have read about the Sultan is that they are not...

Hi, I am a 'Newbie' I guess you'd say. My family is pretty excited about raising chickens. At this point we have 3, all acquired unwillingly at first. We raised them from chicks, but we really have no idea what they are. There are 2 roosters and a hen. The roosters really match the pictures I...
