14 weeks old. Extremely bummed that they're roos, thought I was getting pullets. Orp roo is quite gentle and docile, has been handled by kids since hatched. Will make a very sweet rooster. Delaware Roo is tame though not as sweet, but beautiful. Both these boys free range in yard during...

Partridge Cochin Pullet near Columbus OH 5+ mos old needs home What Happened Why can't everyone just get along? My sweet new little Partridge Cochin named "Noodle" by my DD- despite the fact that she's bigger than the rest of my hens- has become the whipping post. I got her at the OH national...

19892 + 7 = 19899 1 Ameraucana, 2 RIR, 3 SLW, 1 Comet + 2 dogs 2 kids & DH (2 hens escaped and our dog ate them, also just did the 2 Roosters- they were full sized & started crowing. I made a deal with the neighbors in April- they agreed to chooks next door if they'd not hear any crowing.)...

Hi all, brand new to BYC. Also brand new to the world of owning some chooks... just moved to central OH. So here's my debut: I live in a nice development with rather nice sized large houses. My husband and I do well in the financial industry, but I for one am starting to have some serious...
