    We processed our first roosters today

    Well today was a big step... We processed four young roosters, all between 18 - 20 weeks - an australorp, a barnevelder and two barred rocks.

    Hens or roosters?

    Hi, I got my first two chickens off a friend when they were about 6 weeks old. They are now about 11 - 12 weeks old and I'm still not sure if I've got roosters or hens. Googling hasn't really helped much so I figured I'd just post some pictures and get some help from people with more...
