I do understand not being 100% with them. But, they are a wonderful hatchery with wonderful birds... do consider giving them another shot in the future! They are wonderful to work with.

KINDA looks like a cockerel to me. Got some green in the tail, large comb..... not screaming pullet.

LOVE my Barnie Roos! Glad I came back to see how it all turned out!!!!

I use this in conjunction with the HW cloth so I have shade that air can move through. They last longer than tarps do! (at least in my area they do!) https://a.co/d/6KehWed

I love my Brahmas! But, be aware that they are big birds.... they will need room to get onto the roost! These girls will need the extra room! They will get tempramental if their space is too small.

I have been nothing but pleased... especially since they are hatchery birds! BUT, I think its a LOT about environment!!!! MANY people LOVE orpington roos.... I was not around many older birds and was with a small group of pullets from Rural King. MAN, was he a JERK! We tired everything to tame...

This morning I went looking for my boys.... yes, boys.... baby pictures for just this post .:D They too are barnevelders. One of my roosters began crowing at 3 weeks, the other 5. You cant tell by the mottled feathers because they begin to blend in as they get older. BUT, their combs turned...

I don't think they see the HC. I have them try to escape all the time...LOL.... but I've never had them hit the lid. I use a wire shelf on the top, but to be honest, its more to keep out curious kitties. What breed are they? I would move to a larger brooder. That one looks a wee bit small. It...

I have an old coop... very old, and it has a dirt floor... and I love it! The coop sets on a grade, and is very dry...(unless I drop the waterer...UGH) The pros is it is very easy to clean. I dont use any bedding on the floor, just rake it out! The cons.... its very dusty! but the biggest con...

I probably should tell you that my plate is angled, lower in the back, so the chicks can find their "perfect spot". If I hear lots of cheeping, I know to either raise or lower the plate!

I LOVE my heat plate. Chicks are happier, and feather out much faster. I have them in my basement for one week, then to the coop brooder.... havent had any trouble! I feel safer with it. I use this one, https://shorturl.at/gpAOP both in the coop and in the basement, and I have had less...

Yeah.... it seems I'm batting a thousand for roosters...LOL I seem to get them in each batch. Im not mad... the first ones I received were Barnevelder Roosters, and they are really nice boys. (yes, I ordered pullets). But in my last group, I had an easter egger roo.... although he kept his...

I havent gotten them yet. I will probably skip them this spring..... Dont want to chance a rooster. Im not good at gambling. LOL! We will probably get some next spring.

Thats where I will get mine :) I can easily pick them up!

Thank you! I may put it off for this round.... JUST in case. Appreciate the quick answers!!!!

I am looking to get some Partridge Plymouth Rocks for my flock. As Im looking to NOT add anymore roosters to my flock... I wondered if this breed is auto sexing? I haven't found a definite answer to this question anywhere.

BIG THANK YOU TO ALL!!! As well as a HUGE CONGRATS to EVERYONE!

Well, I am sorry that we couldn't help. Isolate your rooster tonite, if the hen goes in, he's the problem.....maybe. I would also check for mites.... True, It may not bother all the birds, maybe its just the one. No harm in checking anyway. Good luck :)
