    White leg horn hens

    Here is one of our roosters from the same batch we had to get rid of. This is him now. Comparing him to the one, id say that its a female. Maybe just early grower? She hasn't been making her noise anymore since that morning. But this image is of the rooster who is the same age.

    White leg horn hens

    White leg horn hens

    I have no idea how old they were. We waited for the leg horns to come in and they called to tell us they were finally in. They said they just got them in the day before, so theyd been there for two days when we picked them up.

    Why thank you! I try to keep their enclosure very clean. They have a coop with enclosed run then during the day i open up the doors and they have a fenced off section of the yard around their coop that they get to forage in during the day.

    I posted a few months ago about our homemade coop. I will post pics again of it. We have since moved the coop to an area next to the house and we are constructing a fence out of pallets so the chicks can have more room to wander. Overall i am happy with our coop and it is holding up nicely. In...
