Here's another update!

Maizee and Rosie are laying an egg each, every day now! (We haven't eaten any yet... I still have to take pictures!)

The little chickies are getting big! They are now 8 weeks old.

I'm looking for a chicken harness! Does anyone know of any for sale?

LOL - Here's my Fabio... his official baby name was Chubby Cheeks, but we call him Fabio more often - it's the way he throws his "hair" around.

Fabio is fabulous ... Is he loud? How many girlfriends does he have?

Try raising the perch. They like to feel safe and a higher perch will do that. You could put them on the perch for a couple of nights after dark and it will probably get them started.
I use a sanded 2x4 with the 4" side up. Some people put the 2" side up.

Wow jeepgirl13! Those pictures are amazing!

Here are my chick pics. They are 3 weeks old, can anyone tell the roos from the pullets?

3 New Hampshires:

Do you already know and this is a quiz?
I would guess you have 1 or 2 BR cockerels because of their light color and one NH cockerel because of it's tail and stance. I've never had NHs, though so it's a very uneducated guess.

My girls are almost 11 or 12 weeks, I can't remember. Are they slow learners?

My first little flock didn't roost until they were 12+ weeks... they preferred to all sleep together, squeezing into nesting boxes. It was pretty funny. Then a couple started roosting right above them and eventually they all went to the roosts. I also use 2x4's with the 4 side being what they roost on. I did it that way so that in the cold winters we have, they can lay on their feet and cover them completely.

I will share a couple pics each day of my new babies that I will be eventually adding to my current flock. Here's the first 3, and some of the youngest...








This is my husband's baby that he named Adele - it was a consolation chick after he had to cull all the BA's we had before since they all turned out to be roos.

I have no idea, but I think you are correct. That was my line of thinking as well... also I'm pretty sure the sex-link is a pullet

SQUEAKY: My vote is 2 BR cockerels and 3 NH pullets, although I've never owned either of those breeds.
