    Will i be able to tell the difference between the chicks?

    My question is, I assume this cross is a "sex link" but will I be able to tell the difference between the chicks? Will they all be "white" looking or will these "golden" males be noticably different? I only hatched two and it looks like their baby feathers coming in are "white"(silver? i.e...

    BCM Chick development, male vs female

    Ok, so I've got these two, 4wk old fancy bcms. I am half convinced one is a cockerel and the other is a pullet. The thing is the one who looks and behaves like a pullet is quite bigger than the "cockerel". The "cockerel" is way feistier and more challenging to my other isbar cockerels. Also...

    Can pinless peepers be a good solution? Roo and top hen being bullies to bottom hen. Attack her every chance they get.

    My rooster and top hen keep bullying my bottom level Orpington hen. They both gang up and try to chase her off. Sometimes she submits and they peck the crap out of her head. So mean! I want to put peepers on my roo and top hen and see if that calms things down. I would imagine he could...

    Do all roos have favorite girls?

    Do all roos have favorite girls that they peck the crap out of or is that just some? Wondering if I need to try another roo... My poor BA is getting all her neck feathers pulled out and it's only day 3 since he has been in the flock.
