  • i have four rocks, they are babys now, when they get old i will not eat them, i love them

  • not true, a hen will start brooding on unfertile eggs also. Our hen did and I put a couple of chicks under her one night and then she had some adopted babys that she loved, but one was a rooster and had to give him away. And also noted, the other hen (two total adult hens) did not bother the chicks of the brooding hen.

  • could you tell me more about what types of chickens get along with each other? I dont know if they fight and I've read that rhode island reds are a aggressive chicken, i want to raise them with brahams and leghorns will there be any main dominance or am i being stupid? please help

  • My chicken sits on my she like being picked up she is house-trained and loves me

  • my barred rock chicken is is very calm and likes being picked up...

  • Wow all people think about is EATING, poor chickens haha

  • Poor barred rocks, they're so skinny! I have a barred rock named Chuken and she's very plump!!! :)

  • I have had a amazing vision of what to do with as a retirment project, and if I really want to be picky, I could make it a bit bigger

  • could have been better at explaining the info she was trying to get out to people. For a so called expert not very good at speaking. Still nice rock.

  • EHEHE the chicken pooped on her..... 

  • hey guys any advice i have 10 baby cornish chicks do i need vitamns for them?

  • @AngelFromSkyRoblox They are called combs, and you can sex chicks based on their wing length (especially around 3 weeks or older). The longer wing feathers that reach almost to the tail should be hens and the shorter wing feathers should become roosters. the Plymouth Rock hens don't have a substantially large comb like the Leghorns, more like an average sized comb.
