These are my chickens.

The second cockerel is a grey EE.
You also have another female White Rock that I didn't notice.

I have two grey and white ones. The biggest one picks on the other chicks, I yell at it to stop. It does. I just don't want them hurting and fighting. They're worse than my 2 cats and pug

Yes. One is a female. The other is male.
Your question about the eggs.
There will be no chicks unless those eggs are incubated.
Collect the eggs every day. Refrigerate if you like.

I see one rooster. No, you can not feed them bread. They can eat most fruits and veggies but not all. You can stop giving them electrolytes whenever you want. You could start using hay at any age. Chickens also enjoy eating chicken scratch and black sunflower seeds.

I never heard of black sunflower seeds. and as far as Chicken scratch goes do I just throw it down on the ground and the they eat it off the ground or do I put it in their food bowl?

 

[Blondiegoldiechicks]

I'm guessing the light brown ones are the Red Sexlinks, the white one with the very red comb is the White Rock, and all the others are Easter Eggers.

Huh... Well your right. Wow!! Thank you!! Now I just have to see how many roosters I have. And if I have more than one what do I do with a fight with each other? Do I have to give one away?

I thought you were eating peaches.

Agree with your observations.

In addition to the info already given, any kind of "treats" (table scraps, fruit, veg, scratch etc) should only make up 10% of their diet at most. They do not need treats every day either.

Since you have two cockerels, it would be best to use an All Flock or Flock Raiser type feed. Provide free choice oyster shell and grit on the side.

Most scratch grains contain black sunflower seeds. They are seeds from sunflowers. They do not need scratch grains. They do need a nutrient balanced diet.

Which one do you think is a rooster? Cool I will start using hay next week then. I will tell my husband no bread

Since most questions have been answered I will do my best to explain the rest....

Chicken scratch...it is a treat of mixed grains. It is a treat to be used sparingly. A small handful flung wide will get them "scratching" around doing chicken things.
BOSS is black oil sunflower seeds. It is also a treat and can be flung wide along with the scratch. Treats are any edible item other than their formulated feed. Treats should only be fed at about 1 Tablespoon per bird per day so the protein in the feed is not diluted with low protein treats.

How to tell if a chick is in an egg... This can only happen if the rooster is breeding the hens AND the eggs are being incubated. Incubation is done with a hen who has the hormones triggered to sit on the nest and be "broody". No you cannot make a hen go broody. The second option is using an incubator.....that is a process I have not done so cannot advise there.
To know if a chick is growing in the egg a strong flashlight and dark room are often used. This is candling and the light lets you see what is or is not going on in the egg.

Excuse me? One can eat peaches and comment on chickens.

Those peaches were very nice by the way.

The bigger gray one is a male right? I call it chicken hawk so it does make sense I named all of my chickens they are not my food. Ever.
