New Chickens
Our take
Cluck-tastic news! My wife recently discovered a charming Silkie rooster and his two Silkie cross hens in need of a new home. They’re currently hanging out in our previous coop under quarantine, taking a well-deserved break from their past adventures. This handsome rooster has a bit of comb damage—rumor has it, he had a run-in with an Orpington rooster, but he looks relatively clean and dry. We’re giving them a day to chill before we conduct a closer inspection. The excitement doesn’t stop there! Once they’re settled and feeling comfy, we’ll see if these feathered friends can join our existing flock. Stay tuned for updates on this egg-citing new chapter in our chicken saga!

The rooster has some comb damage allegedly from an Orpington rooster he was living with. Looks relatively clean and dry so we will let them chill for a day or so then inspect closer. Eventually we will see if we can integrate them into the rest of the flock. [link] [comments] |

- Hen or RooI’m new to chickens— we got these little ones about 3 weeks ago and this one is the only one to survive his flock. The other 3 were so sick and eventually passed.

- Got two chickens… turns out they’re both roosters - advice 🙏🏻**UPDATE IN COMMENT SECTION** Hey everyone, I need a bit of help and figured this was the right place to ask. I was gifted what I was told were a rooster and a hen, but it turns out… they’re actually both roosters 😅 I’m still pretty new to all of this, so I didn’t notice right away, but now it’s pretty obvious. I’m attaching photos here could anyone help me figure out what breeds they might be? I’d really appreciate it. Also, I’m a bit concerned about whether they can stay together in the same coop. So far they haven’t done anything too aggressive, but I’ve read mixed things online about keeping two roosters together. On top of that, we’re expecting 10 hens to arrive soon, so I’m wondering if that will help balance things out or potentially make it worse between them. Any advice or insight would really help me out. Thanks a lot 🙏 submitted by /u/HungryCelebration434 [link] [comments]
