Hey all,
Just started off on backyard Chickens Website. I Live in Adelaide Australia, have to say I am hooked with my feathered friends and my wife thinks I am chicken mad. My firsts test subjects were 4 Red Hens, (I think Rhode Island Reds) and they have been fantastic laying 3 eggs a day out of the four chooks. The look fantastic, fit and loving the big backyard.
With such success, many thanks to this webpage for the advise. I have purchased 4 more chickens, 3x Australorps ans 1x Leghorn. The store owner said they were 6 weeks old and i have had them for about a week. I have read many threads on the difference between a Hen and Rooster Subject and even though its a little early i would like to know from these pics if they are a Pullet or a Cock? My guess is the one with the three chicks are hens and the one on its own is a Rooster.
Cheers in advance.
