    Hello from Tennessee

    I’m keeping him. He’s a sweetheart, so far. I’ll have to see how he is with the other roosters first. I used to have a Rhode Island Red Rooster. He was sooo good with the hens. He even let us pick him up and hold him. And then I noticed he was losing feathers in patches. Later I noticed the hens...

    Hello from Tennessee

    These are getting along very well. I’ll let you in on a secret for your eggs. Cook your eggs. Wash out the shells and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes at 250F.

    Hello from Tennessee

    Hello, I’m new to this forum. I started with chickens after moving to Tennessee when my husband came home with them (without informing me). Now I have 31 chickens and I love it.

    Hen or rooster?

    I thought this chicken was beautiful, too. I was just hoping “he” was a “she”. For such a small chicken, he’s a feisty one. And very friendly. He goes to sleep in my lap a lot.

    Hen or rooster?

    We’ve had chickens for three years now and when we ordered new chicks from the hatchery, we got this little one as an add on. So, I don’t know if it’s a hen or a rooster. Can anyone tell me what it is? This chicken is now almost 3 months old.
