I will ask around. The problem with that is half the time you end up with more roos than pullets, thus my problem here!! Let me know if you can't find someone closer and I'll come up and get a couple.
Thanks,

I have four hens and one box and they have no problem laying if there are already one, two or even three in there. They do however, fuss over the box loudly if someone is hogging it too long!! I would stick a second one in there just to make it easier on them!
I have four 9 week old RIR babies. They are growing fast and have feathered up really nice. Problem is, I still am not sure if they are pullets or Roos as they all look different.........and I haven't heard sign of a pityful crow yet.
The most recent problematic behavior is that one of them...
I would take him out as soon as he is dry so he doesn't knock the other eggs over. The other chicks could possibly drown if he knocks them upside down.
I just read a great idea on another thread on this site. They are now recommending when you take them out of the auto turner, put them air sac...

The chickens down here in Middle Georgia have done the same thing, and we didn't have an ice storm, but a cold snap.
Many of my friends are reporting the same thing......they were all laying fine and then just stopped completely about the middle of December and not one egg since. We have tried...
Well I guess time will tell!! I appreciate your help on this, as it is really a mystery to me!!
I Will keep you posted on any crowing that might show up one day. If you find a picture of yours I would love to see it!

You have a good point, I haven't heard any crowing.
I promise you that every time I go out to check for eggs, if there is an egg that golden sebright is sitting on it. I didn't think a rooster would do that would they?
I did look it up on the internet though and "she" sure looks like a "he". I...
Thank you for all of your help! I guess the golden Sebright cockerel has been claiming someone else's eggs!!
If anyone out there is interested the cockerels will be given away for free since I don't need them in the hen house!!
Thank you also for the comb info, I will have to go out there an...
Well now I am really confused!! The second one has been laying eggs so it can't be a boy??
I forgot to put their ages on there too, they are 4 months old.
