I have young standard size chickens and I found a small egg the other day.. all the chickens are under 16 weeks.. so I'm confused.. is this possible???
I have 3 roosters, from straight run purchase. 1 of the roosters goes after another one and bites his neck and doesnt let go but is super friendly to me. Another rooster is neutral and the last is loud and attacks me when I try to pick him up or touch another chicken. I am having hard time...
So I bought 12 baby chicks weeks back.. 5 from agway and 7 from TSC... not sexed. Now that they're 9 and 7 weeks old I think I have 3 roosters.. one silkie is huge and has thick legs and a big comb and wattles where the other 2 dont, also looks like he has streamers on his head at 9 weeks. The...

New chicken owner. The chicks are 5 weeks old and will be moving outside in a few weeks.. just wondering do you keep feeder/waterer in coop or in run or both??? Thanks! 🙂
