We put them together last Wednesday night, so 3 days.

I got a year old rooster with his harem of 6 hens (between 1 & 2 yrs old). I put them in with the 4 hens I already had (they are about 9 mos old). I know that there will be some pecking order stuff however the 4 hens I first had won't come out of the coop, its up high and where they roost at...

Thank you!

These are not great pics but any help on gender would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to get better pics when I have help holding them. They are 8 weeks old. Thanks so much!

Thanks! I'm excited to be a part of BYC!
