Pullet or Cockerel? somewhere in the 8-10 week range, I've been going back and forth x.x

They are both standards, both have fuzzy feet and legs. From a hatchery choice bundle.

I have a 19 week old pullet who won't put any weight on one of her legs. It started a few days ago as a minor limp and has progressed to where she wont put any weight on it, she falls over (catches herself with her wings and lays down) if she tries. She's now (since last night) in a dog crate...

I have 4.5-5week old chicks now who wont go outside until 8 weeks because coop still need some work but is still under snow....is it possible to keep new day/week olds with them or should I keep everyone separate?

My chick kids are 3 weeks old today, is there anything giving away if these guys are hens or roos yet? Thank you in advance!

Hey all, I am getting my first girls this spring, and this is what I have to work with to create a coop. It's a 4 x 8, only about 5'5 tall (which works for me and gives me 5 inches head room) The vents on the side can be closed up if need be (I would like as much roost space as possible) I was...

Does X sq ft per bird mean floor space? Does having multiple staggered roost bars count or does only the floor space count? My shed is 4x6 which is 24 sq feet so does that mean at 3 sq feet per bird I should only keep 7 fluffy butts? Or does having vertical space count as well? Will be my...

Hi everyone, myself and my daughter are taking the plunge into chickens next year! I plan on getting 10 Easter Eggers. I am brand new to chickens and live in Northern Michigan so it gets pretty cold in the winter, but some people who raise chickens suggested Auracanas(sp) or Easter Eggers as I...
