#2 might be a cockerel... quite early to tell (for me anyway)

Cut down a small (6 to 7 ft) conifer or juniper and stick it in there. They will love going in and out of the branches and when the needles fall off, will sit on the branches. Get a couple square bales of straw or hay, cut and remove the cords and let them scratch the hay around. Toss scratch...

They will get to you. Congratulations!

2.5 month old turkey thinks he's the bomb. LOL

the more I look at the red one, the more I think he is also EE cross. LOL! I didn't keep track of the eggs/chicks... I will post more photos for sure.

I am looking forward to seeing how they mature. Although I am thinking the 'red' one is a cockerel, so won't be hanging around here for long.

Dad is Black Laced Gold Wyandotte. I 'think' the grey one's mom is an EE and potentially the other is from my Welsummer hen.

Yes- a swift and firm kick has done the trick for me also.... I have been charged and run into by roos from behind and when they do they soon learn that won't do them any good because I chase and catch them with a big fishing net then pin them to the ground. Usually once does the trick for...

Whenever I talk to my husband about types of chickens, he just shrugs his shoulders and says... 'IDK, it's a chicken' 😆 Actually, I rarely even bring them up in conversation because it is like talking to a wall. 😆

was just typing this. Would be easy to be discreet. Then wrap in paper towel and throw away (or take home and throw away)

weasel(s), mink, raccoon (although this seems unlikely for daytime) - it is possible the chickens got scared from the coop and chased around.

I love my Welsummer hen. I have only one, but she is just chill.

The legs, tail say roo.... not a lot of comb color/development though... tough call! I lean toward cockerel.

I hatched out a few BL gold wyandotte x EE's, Welsummer. A few of the chicks are pretty neat! Got a few solid blacks that look like EE going back to Black Copper Marans as well.

first is hen, second is roo.
