Trying to figure out how to delete a post? all I see is edit

lol It's been that kind of a week. I must have 3 months stuck on the brain. Sorry the "12 week old" pullets and rooster are just 8 weeks old. The 8 week old rooster is maybe half the size of the older rooster and seems to have a lot more confidence and swagger. The other one just looks lazy to me.

I am new at this and recently added two roosters to my flock of 9 hens. I need help figuring out if one might be behaving better or more naturally then the other. Currently I have three 1 year old white/orange Americaunas hens laying daily, 2 - 3 month old Barred Rock hens, 1 - 3 month old Black...

Thank you! She emailed me back that they are just 11 weeks old now. So he won't be able to fertilize the other hens that are currently laying for another couple months either?

I just received a Marans rooster and hen to add to my flock within the last week. She said he hadn't crowed yet. He crowed two days after I got him and this morning I saw him mount a hen. I thought he was too young for this. I think she said he and the hen are just around 12 weeks old. I can't...

Thank you! Can I get the sevin at Tractor Supply? I was under the impression that the ivermect also kills mites.

I was carrying a large dog crate into my run today with four new hens to add to my flock. My sweet little 8 week old barred rock girls all came running when they saw us. They are all very social and friendly. My daughter noticed there were only four and we started looking for the fifth. We...

I have 4 cute little eight week old barred rock hens and didn't expect to bring home any additional chickens. I decided to buy four more nine month old hens because I was told they are already laying. I don't know what breed they are but they are a mottled light brown and lay green eggs. They...

That was the problem I had. I couldn't find anything on muni but she sent me the link to the Shelby Township website and it is in section 3.01 under zoning. Even if they argue try to argue size or location of a farm, their ordinance is against state law because they specifically prohibit...

I don't know if it will make a difference for chicks but when dog breeders have a weak puppy that is barely hanging on in the first day or two, we boil a piece of beef liver in a small amount of water, cool the water and give it to the pup with a small dropper. It usually perks them right up if...

I love it Gail. What did you use to provide the arch across the top?

WOW coyotemagic, that second one really gives me some ideas. I wish I could see pics of the inside of the coop too. Thank you so much!!!

This has been a fascinating post. Does anyone have any idea about the ultimate outcome of the Papesh VS Shelby Twp case? From what I read the appellate court reversed the order back to the lower court to be re decided, but I didn't see anything more about whether they got to keep the chickens or...

Thanks so much for that link. I compared mine to the pic of the baby rooster. All of mine have dark mottled coloring on their legs where the toes meet the leg and down the outer toes. The picture of the rooster has yellow feet so I hope that means mine are all pullets :o) Only two have larger...

These are my 6 new chicks.. :o) They are supposedly Barred Rock Pullets but we'll see. I have read a lot of not so good things about TSC. I hope I don't have any roosters hiding in the midst.

Does the play sand count as grit?

and is there any way to figure out how old they may actually be? I bought them on may 04th the last day of chick days at TSC

I have them in a big plastic bin for now. There is one layer of newspaper on the bottom and then the cat litter "yesterdays news" pellets on top of that for litter. It's made out of newspaper so I thought that would be safe for them. I put a tupperware dish of sand in with them. Thanks for the...

My chicks are about 2 weeks old??? I'm guestimating because that's what I was told when i bought them but I bought them at a TSC. The employees looked like they were making it up as they went. SO no idea how old they really are. They all seem to be doing really well except today two of the...
