I think that's what we were thinking too thanks for all your help!

From what have read about a jersey seems like they don't stop growing until like 3! Is this true? As of now she towers over all the other girls. She was supposed to be an australorp but I don't think she is. Her feet are very dark black, yellow and black underneath. She doesn't have an...

Oh I hope so! Kids said they heard them sing their song but I haven't. Guess I should get a bigger nesting box put in for my big myrtel, she doesn't fit well in a standard box. Maybe a milk crate?

I have a few pullets,3 barreds 2 buffs 1 possible jersey giant and few bantam barnyard mixes. They are all about 16-18 weeks old. My possible jersey started acting strange tonight, randomly sitting in the yard twitching her butt and tail picking at it, with the 2 largest barreds around her. The...

Nope not all. The cockerels get along great have never fought. The each seem to have their own 4 girls. Maybe he was keeping watch while the others were eating? I'm not sure very new to this. Both boys get along amazingly have been together since hatching(got from the same farm) I had 3 others...

I have 2 bantam barnyard mix cockerels and 8 pullets 3 barred 2 orps 1 jersey giant(oops wasn't supposed to be) and 2 bantam barnyard mix. They really have been fine until today maybe to close for too long? They have plenty of room so I'm not sure. Maybe it's like having 2 preteens in the house...

So it seems like my second bantam roo got kicked out of the flock today! We were out of town for the day so they didn't get to free range all day, they have been sneaking away and hiding, but have a small run so they can get outside. But he just seems sad and lonely everytime I look he is all...

I will be getting possibly 3 new hens added to my flock and removing 2 roos. They are all about 8 weeks old. I will have to hold the 2 roos for the weekend until my sister leaves town. Will everyone be ok? Should I separate or just let them work it out? My hens still chirp but 3 of my 5 roos...

I hope so Sumatras don't sound like good layers or very nice for a backyard flock from what I've read

Was wondering if anyone might know what breed this hen is? I was told she is an austrolorp but she doesn't seem to look like them. She has a very tiny comb that all most looks gray or black. She is a large chicken the biggest I have and I think she is 8 weeks? I was thinking maybe a black...

My austrolorp is maybe 8 weeksish and she has started squatting or sitting down every time my bantam roo is around her sometimes when he's not. I am just wondering why she is doing it and has just started today. I will attach a photo of her thanks

They all have grown up together since about 2 weeks old I think the coop is 4x8 maybe. They could probably get away but they are already squabbling if the others try to crow the main one won't let them. I think I have homes for everyone right now as long as they all follow through. I have...

I think I will just have to give him away and keep my sons bird. Right now 3 bantams have crowed so that leaves me with just 3 bantam hens. The buff is starting to try and crow I think and the barred doesn't know what he wants to do yet lol just be cocky and chase everyone. I hope the questioned...

Yes they will all be living together. As of wake up time this morning 3 bantams have crowed and the buff is thinking about it.

I have tried to find that thread and can't could you send me a link for it would love to check it out

I just use a noisy bag

As of now I have six hens I'm waiting on a couple of people to take two of the three bantams roos no replacements for them yet. Still on the fence about the barred and buff I have my daughter convinced to trade them for hens but my son wants to keep the barred roo too! I would rather trade my...

I use mealworms in a bright purple bag that's in a ziplock. Every night when it's bedtime I take it with me to put them in shake the bag and they come running. I have them eating the worms from my hands and they know bag is bed good luck hope this helps

I don't know if this is where to post this but has anyone kept multiple roos? As of now I have I think 5 about 8 week old roos. 3 are bantams 1 is a buff and the other is a barred. I am keeping one bantam for sure he belongs to my 12 year old son and he is a great chicken very calm and loving...
