    Need help figuring out the sex of my chickens.

    probably more of the same RIR, why do you ask? do you have a suggestion? We live in Northern Oklahoma, so my neighboor did a bunch of research and thinks the RIR were the best for this area.

    I have 6 New Hampshire Reds, they are now about 4 months old and just started molting, since they were just a few weeks old we could tell that 2 of them were roosters it's still obvious they are now, they have large combs that lay over, I would say maybe 1.5 inches long. And up until the last...

    New coop, need some assistance.

    Thank you for the responce, the frame you see that is bent in, is actually the "extra" frame that was not needed, it's a bit of an optical illusion. it was a dog kennel that was given to us with 4 side, we only needed 3. The run wire is wired on to the pipe frame, I will go get some chicken...
