Ok good to know. The bottom one is always trying pick fight with the top one and struts around like a rooster. That’s the only reason I thought maybe lol
These are other two same age the top on is one I hatched i am most positive it’s a cockerel it’s already got like spikes coming out of its spurs but the bottom picture is the other EE I got with the white one they were suppose to be pullertd I’m pretty sure it’s a cockerel. What do you think
they a
they are all housed together now but they seem to be eating pretty regular every evening I go sit with them they are usually in the food or they come out and graze.
Well I have lavender Orpington, black majesty, barred rock, black sex link, Jersey giant lol but they all equal in size right now except the one Orpington she is little bigger. The second round is a barn yard mix out of my isa brown and 2 Easter eggers
Out of genuine curiosity my two groups of chickens are about a month to a month and a half apart in age but the older chickens are just so much bigger.one groups born mid to late April and second group was born May 27. I just find it odd they are so much bigger year so close in age.
You know your area better than I do. I live on a farm my rabbits and chickens are against the woods. And I have never had issue with the rabbits being taking by predators. Now I do have dog they barks if anything comes in the yard. I also went to Walmart and bought solar powered motion lights...
I’m actually waiting on my 3rd generation to be born. My sweet daisy mae died randomly one day I still have her daughter who I decided to breed to so I can keep the family going.
I do not shut them up at night because they actually rest a lot burning the day and if I go out at night they usually running around. But my hutch and run are fully enclosed with welded wire and a tin roof.
Oh and alfalfa is fine for them to use as foraging but I use that more in the winter and use Timothy in the summer. However if I need to I just use our Bahia grass hay and never had any issues
I have had rabbits for years mine have always lived out doors. They have safe covered area and a large run. Please be advised rabbits dig and burrow. If they are out side and have access to dirt they will dig. I had to burry welded wire throughout the entire run to keep my girls from escaping...
