Hello friends of chickens!
What a crazy and fantastic website, who knew there was so much info on chickens and the people that love them.
First I want to say I've wanted to keep chickens all my adult life. My grand parents had chickens and going to visit them and seeing their chickens was one of my most fond memories.
Two weeks ago I built a coop under my deck and purchased 6 RIR chicks. Watching these chicks grow is unbelievable, one day fuzz the next day feathers!
I've been trying to spend as much time with them and have learned they all have quite the unique personalities.
I do have a question for you more experienced chickenolygists. Reading the sexing by feather method it would seem that I have 50/50 male/female mix?
As you can see 3 have really long feathers (females?), while 3 are quite short (males?)
Opinions?
Thanks
Don
