    Best option to replace cockerel with hen??

    we have 2 australorp birds (almost 7 weeks old). No other chickens. It’s looking like one of our chicks is a he, not a she (they were vent sexed).

    Hello from Central Oregon!

    It's been several years since we owned chickens, and now we're back at it!! We're just putting the finishing touches on our coop and 20' run. We have 6 girls... if we're lucky.
