| Re: Making sure I have hens... - These do look like hens. Sometimes hens will grow spurs, usually happens in older birds. The one leghorn looks a bit like a rooster, and I would be suspicious if it were a younger bird still developing, but these are old enough that you can be pretty | Charmaine Slaven | Oct 20, 2009 |
| Making sure I have hens... - Hello all: We got our first batch of "hens" in July... but they turned out to be roosters. In retrospect, I should have known earlier -- they didn't act like hens and the hackle feathers were a pretty dead giveaway. Act II -- so this past weekend | Damon | Oct 19, 2009 |
| Re: [chicken-46] Rooster - Is anyone interested in a couple of black sexlink roosters? Our pullets haven't turned out to be the egg layers we expected, but they seem to be good roosters. Free to a good home this weekend. | Damon | Oct 16, 2009 |

| Re: [chicken-46] How far would you go? - I have not seen much luck with that issue. Even after a surgery, I've seen the problem persist and the chicken die. Chickens are amazing about healing from injuries, and there are alot of things i have coaxed my birds through. But thats a tough | kathy | Oct 8, 2009 |

| Re: Buffs not yet laying - Buff Orps are a heavy breed, so typically take a bit longer to start laying, usually by the 6 months of age. Adding supplemental light could stimulate them to start laying sooner rather than later. A couple of extra hours in the morning could help. | Charmaine Slaven | Oct 5, 2009 |

| Re: [chicken-46] butchering a chicken question - Ideally you will want to eviscerate ASAP because of the natural flora in the gut which can spread and make the rest of the bird go bad. A few hrs in the fridge | silkiechicken | Sep 7, 2009 |
