We are raising our first flock. They are between 3 and 4 weeks old. I have a few questions.
A friend who raises chickens thinks 3 of mine are roosters, they are almost 4 week old Americanas and a Welsummer. She said I can sex them by their wing feathers, but I thought they were too old for that. Thoughts? I’m waiting until there are some real definitive signs that they are Roos. For now I’ll treat them all as hens
Also, our chicks came unvaccinated. They have been on organic feed until a week ago and I started mixing in some medicated feed. I need to buy more, should I switch to unmediated or continue with medicated for a bit longer?
attatched below are our 3 older chicks and their wing pictures.
