My family and I decided to take a leap and buy some chicks. We have had a coop for two years but have not been brave enough to purchase chicks. Well we did it. We bought 6 baby cuckoo Marans. We bought them at our local Tractor Supply. They are all supposed to be hens but they look different (maybe different ages - however they all supposedly came in the same shipment). Can anyone give me advice? Please say all hens!! They should be 3 to 4 weeks old. We have had them for about 2/12 weeks and Were told a week old when we bought them.
Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Andrea
