I have a few hens I bought a while back. They seem to be liking their new home. But I'm not so sure if they are laying. They could be laying their eggs anywhere around the yard, but I've found none so far. But every time I walk up to them they "drop" for me like I am a Rooster. The...

Hi all Recently we got a couple of chicks from a hatching program run out of my son's kindergarten. We have had them for about 2 months now and they are starting to get a bit bigger. I was hoping for some advice on what breed and if they are hens or roos. The website from the organisation that...

I recently ordered 50 red sex link hens. I'm trying to find out how much money I will be spending a week on feed for them. I plan on free-feeding them with rolling acres layer feed, they will have a 16x8 coop and a 24x8 run with dirt and wood chips. If someone knows how much feed one hen will...

I was given 2 Red Star pullets about 4 years ago. So I had also just gotten 2 other youngsters, 1 Barred Rock Rooster, 1 Barred Rock Hen and the 2 "Redheads" I named Ginger & Lucy. All 4 were pretty close in age, they got along well and my handsome Roo was such a gentleman, always giving the...

I grew up with backyard, free range chickens as a child. As an adult I have wanted them forever, and have missed those wonderful, real, fresh eggs. So...now, I finally have 4 red sex linked pullets. They are about 19 weeks old and I am anxiously awaiting the day I walk out and find that first egg!

Hello I have to red sex link girls & i was thinking of adding a 3rd girl so I was wondering are there any type of other breed that can be easily sexed when chicks ? Also what kind of breeds of chicken would get along with the red sex links I have read people say they are an aggressive breed...

Hi everyone! So earlier this week my 21 week old RSL has been squatting. Her comb/wattles have become much more red and her pelvic bones are about 2½ finger widths apart. I put a fake egg in one of their nesting boxes and she has been "rearranging" I guess you could say, ever since. Moving...
