We had a rooster up until recently. He was supposed to be a hen. Technically we’re not allowed one due to city ordinance. We kept him around for 10 months or so anyway becasue we loved him. He was a bantam and such a cool guy, but his incessant crowing got to be too much and we already have an...

Just wanted to provide an update… we are less than a week post removal of the pinless peepers from my mean girls. We had the one reoccurrence of pecking that drew blood on the first day of the removal and blessedly have had no other incidents. 🙌🏻 I have been down to the coop every afternoon...

I hate this idea but I know you’re probably right. 😭 Thank you for your input.

New chicken mama here… our girls are about 7 weeks old and for the last couple weeks we’ve begun to suspect that one of our RIR ladies is in fact a roo. His/her comb and wattle are much larger and brighter than the rest of the flock. Just looking for confirmation that my suspicions are correct...
