Mine's The Roost Bed and Breakfast, Established 2003. That's pretty much all my chicks do in there!!!!

To bad you're in Ohio, cause I have a pretty partridge cochin hen who would really love him!!!!

:PFirst 2 pictures are Roos!!! Out of the other pictures, I got one postive pullet. You can usually tell from tail feathers and saddle feathers.

Hi there! RIR is a roo, Frizzle also I think I see saddle feathers, Silkie is a pullet I'm pretty sure! They sure are pretty!!!

I had one little golden polish chick in my order this spring, and I lost 4 others from stress of shipping I think. I was sure she was going to die. Wouldn't stand, drink or eat and her eyes were closed all the time, I thought she was a goner, but next morning she's up, running around, eating...

Hi Peggy here. I'm in the same boat. I've lost quite a few birds to bobcats here in NY. But you can't shoot them in my county yet!!!! We've had quite a few sitings. Maybe they'll start a drawing here in Tioga County!!!!!!!

Hi Peg here. I have my blue cochin sitting at the moment, of course right after I got 27 chicks from McMurray, she was sitting on 5 eggs that I marked, now there are only 4 under her.

Hi there! Some chicks mature faster than others, also, my grown hens are still fuzzy and fluffy around the butt. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys! Yes my brooder is pretty big and all the other chicks seem to be doing great. The reason I thought heat, was my golden laced polish chick looked like she was going to be the next victim, but I lowered the heat made sure she drank alot, and she's doing great now. I've been doing this...
