Thanks for your response, I was hoping someone would prove me wrong lol

Well we both may still be wrong! I would think that you should have heard some crowing attempts by now. And egg laying should begin shortly so it wont be long until you can be sure. Some hens just look a little more masculine than others!

Well I suppose I will find out soon, one way or another..
Thanks for the help

This is a great site for information but if you're on Facebook you should join BC Backyard Poultry Growers, it's helpful for local buying and selling.

Anthony13, the group BradnerGirl mentioned may have someone that has what you're looking for, or know where to look. Good luck!

Hey Everyone

I am in Calgary, Alberta and am new to having chickens. I have them in the city on the DL! If you have any suggestions for provincial websites or facebook groups outside of BYC to join let me know, I have already learned a lot from BYC and can't wait for my girls to start laying, although that's still a few months away....

Hi CGY GRL;
I am also a newbie. Hoping for our first eggs within the next 4 - 6 weeks. I am in the Lakeland district - outside of Elk Point, AB. I bought straight run day olds and am now at the point where it is time to process my extra roos. Kinda scary, I guess we will see whether I have what it takes very shortly!!

I am on a Facebook site call BC Backyard/Hobby Poultry Growers. It's for us smaller flock owners. As much as I like this site, the BC site is helpful for buying, selling and trading locally. There may be something like this for Alberta as well...I have learned so much from here and the BC site.
