Quote: We got them specifically for the fresh eggs. Of course I would not be adverse to sex-links. I will have to do some research on how to tell them apart early on. And we do live on 1/2 an acre. During the day they get to free range but in "tag teams". We let the girls and 1 roo out...

We will be looking to get some more hens - won't get a straight run ever again. Their run is straight dirt unfortunately, no woods nearby.

An update on my flock... we have 10 left and 8 are roos!! We only have 2 girls, both RIR's and they just starting laying this past week. Sadly, Miss Ray Ray died after a lot of TLC. Veronica was pecked to pieces by the others for unknown reasons. And we came out to find Lulu laying in the...

Here are some pictures as requested: I say 4 or 5 are roosters: Blackie (rooster for sure - he crows) Chubs (rooster for sure too - crows day and night) Clucky (???) Crook (has 2 crooked toes) I think these are all my girls - they sound like they are purring when I talk to...

Quote: Not enough room? That surprises me - hubby built it actually larger than recommended for the number of birds we had. Guess that person was not very smart. I suggested that to him and he was none too thrilled with that idea. I have zucchini galore in my garden and broccoli, I will...

Quote: They are around 16 weeks or so, probably a little older. We got them in a straight run at the local feed store. Quote: Oh boy - spent some time with them last night and we have 2 roos for sure, the 2 that crow and 2 others we suspect that might be from their posture. One...

It wasn't my choice, DH said it was for the best. I still am not happy about losing her. We have 12 total now and 2 we know are roosters. They crow day and night. I meant that they are NOT overly aggressive. We hope those are the only roos however we don't know for sure, they're the...

VERY new to all this... Yesterday all was fine and this morning when going out to clean the coop we noticed a lot of blood. One of my girls was pecked nearly to death. She was walking around and alert but you could see straight down to her neck bone. My husband had to put her down, she...
