Very pretty, but DEFINITELY a boy! See the saddle feathers forming at the base of his tail? His new owners should enjoy his beauty though!  

Yes, I agree too... BO's are hard to figure out!   But, luckily, right now yours looks like a girl! I don't see any saddle or hackle feathers... Although it is odd for her to have that red of a comb.

Hmm... I will be watching this more closely... It seems I have missed some interesting stuff! i want to know more about the rabbit situation!   UPDATE ON MY MEALIES:   I have at least 150 pupae, probably 20 beetles,...

Ya! It took about 5-8 minutes tops! I was so surprised! I always knew that some morphed in a matter of a couple of hours (because when I checked the bin before, there wasn't any), but I had no idea that it happened THAT fast!  

Thank you for the answers! Does anybody know if it will harm the babies?  

More questions that I need answers to, as I am going to try to get some of the dust today:   1) Is it safe for the tiny chicks in the coop (with their mamas)? Some of them are a week or less old. 2) Can we eat the eggs after...

I thought so! I knew that they were all starting to morph (and this is my second generation) so i was picking a few our multiple times a day, so they they wouldn't get eaten, and I saw the head of this one, and when I pulled it...

I just got to witness a worm morphing into a pupa! And I got pics!   Watch it come out as the pics progress!                

Ok... Thank you very much!  

Thank you for the suggestions! How exactly, do you dust chickens? Do you just dump some powder on them or what? Dusting other stuff is easy, but I figured that you have to get it IN their feathers...     ETA: When I use...
