With that much comb at six weeks, it’s more than likely a cockerel. If you start to see wattles coming in within the next few weeks, it’s definitely a cockerel.

Very pretty. 😊

I’ve never used a brooder plate. I’ve always used a heat lamp. Do you need a heat lamp and a brooder plate? If the are both for a heat source, looks like one or the other would be enough.

I may get a few eggs a week from my hens born in spring, may not. I don’t worry about it though because I believe they deserve a break after...

I get some like that from time to time.
