A farmer near out town posted on a FB group about having RIR chicks. He said he could tell hens. Then when I called back about the first 3, have gave me the other two that were older and he said hens again.
Bc y’all were right on the money about the last set of RIR, here are two more. I received the first 3, then when realizing they were all Roos I let the seller know. They gave me 2 more, saying hens, but I’m pretty sure the one on the right is a roo. But what about the other one??
I know it’s too early for the most part, but I thought I’d try anyway. These Rhode Island Reds are 1 week old. Two of them have the same wing coloring and a stripe on their heads. One is different. Could you tell if it’s a cockerel bag pullet? In picture 1, you can see bottom right doesn’t have...
This is Aloysius. He is a 17 week old Mystic Onyx rooster. We got him in a group of 5 chicks from Tractor supply August 3, and they said the eggs had hatched a week prior. We didn’t know at the time if we had hens or roosters. Well, we now know as he shows off his most superior...

Hello! So we have our chicken house built inside a run that was already on the property when we bought our house. What is an option to cover the run? It already has a bird mesh on top, but there isn’t much shade from 11-5 for the chickens except under the house (or in it).
The feeder and water...

I saw this on our state DOH page today. Apparently people are buying Ivermectin for personal use against COVID. I don’t know where they got the idea that it was ok, but come on people! So just a warning, Ivermectin might be in short supply if misinformation gets out it against COVID.
The 4 dark ones do have black skin. Aloysius and Fluffy do have a bit of white under their chin coming in. LeDoux has brown. And yes sorry I edited after I posted about the toes (I see you noticed ;)
