I have cone to BYC to look things up when I wasn’t sure. There is so much good advice on here. I finally join to ask about chicken genders so I don’t get my kids more attached to a chicken that is a rooster because we will have to rehome him once he starts to crow. Thanks to everyone that responds to me!
