Chirping
Hello im leah! So im new to the chiclen world all together as well as this site. Though ive used this site a lot to read about my new "pullets" i just bought 3 off of craigslist from a seemingly trustworthy woman. They were supposed to be 99% female and was told i got 2 speckled sussex (brown layers) and one salmon Faverolle (Pink layers). Well i got them at 4 weeks which is perfect age for us since we werent set for a brooder And they are in a temp set up now until my hubby and i finish the purina mills coop and run. My problem is being uneducated with chickens i just took 3 she gave me without looking and went. I didnt know what to look for after all expect my SIL said make sure their butts are pink and healthy. Well its a week later and pretty sure i have a roo From the threads on this site. Very disappointed because i was excited to have sussex for my kids, the one that i know is a pullet is our favorite she loves to be held and will sleep on our laps. The salmon Faverolle will bite at us and the roo sussex wont allow us to pick him up. Or does his best at it. No one else around has any sussex and not sure what to do with this roo we dont have room for him. I figured that brred being friendly and good for pets was a plus while being a good layer for our family because we intend to give our ch icks lots of loving! ! Never realized how much personality chickens (or roosters) have!
