Hello!

[Jslig352]

My name is Jessica and I recently became a first time chicken owner 5 weeks ago. I found this sight by googling for pictures of the difference between a roo or hen. I currently have 8 5 week old chicks and they are all different breeds from straight run bin at rural king. At least a couple times a week if not every other day I'm googling hen or roo photos lol .

Thankyou and I hope so too because I have heard some story's of people buying 8 from straight run and all being roos. Lol

Great photos with the cat!
Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!

Welcome to BYC, Jessica. May you be blessed with 2x as many pullets as cockerels!

I will definitely do that! I know the best time is when the saddle feathers start coming in but I can't help being so impatient mostly due to excitement lol all so new and fresh.
