In today's world I'd ask. In general pairs mean a rooster/cockerel and a hen/pullet. There is no such thing as a dumb question. :)

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Dumb Beginner's Question
I was just browsing the local Craigslist and saw a guy offering "pairs" of chickens. Is that one rooster and one hen or just two chickens?
Red meat is not bad for you
Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.

Hi Sue, I have several poultry books and in them it states unless the chicken is overloaded, with a good diet and healthful conditions, they will build an immunity to worms and their bodies will keep the worm population down. If you do testing for worms and nothing shows with multiple fecals, the bird is not passing worms/eggs, I personally would leave well enough alone. The research is out there. You are right, guess I should look up everything and put a web site with it. I don't always feel like it. But, I never make a medical statement about something unless I have done it or read it, and/or have the resources. People can believe me or not, but there is no need to make derogatory statements.
Because of mixed aged silkies added to my flock and my aging population,
