Looks so peaceful and pretty! My Splash Ameraucana hen tries to crow every couple weeks so if this one does too I can put together a little band of crowing splash ladies

Splash Orp she is then! :woot Will update if she crows... 😉

Thanks!

I wouldn't even be questioning it if its feet and legs weren't already so much bigger than my adult Orpingtons. But I'm holding out on it just being a pretty pullet with plus sized feet :)

So I ended up using a combo of fly traps and lots of them. I think quantity was key! I used a bunch of those Rescue fly traps with bate that you add water to plus some of the Rescue blue sticky ones meant for biting flies. I put them all throughout the woods surrounding my house. I also put some...

The white one is still a big ol question mark! It has its own thread here.

I agree but I was just wondering if there is anything to the wing tip theory or if it's nonsense.

Gooster is now 18 weeks old. All photos taken with adult hens for comparison. Comb and wattles are still unremarkable but legs are longer and thicker and feet are bigger than even my Jersey Giant hens which are the largest in my flock. It has also started growing long thin flowing neck feathers...

13 week hatchery double laced Barnevelder. This is my first barny. Is it true that the brown unlaced wing tips indicates male?

Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the pictures. Her coloring is definitely female but also this trick doesn't always seem to work with partridge penes. I had a look at a FB Penedesenca group and it seems like sometimes young cockerels have female coloring. How were yours personality wise around this age? I had read...

I adore this chick but have always suspected it may be male. What do you all think? It's a 7 week old hatchery Partridge Penedesenca.

I don't have any very good recent pics but here it is at 13 weeks. It does have some darker blotchy areas coming in so I think it's definitely a splash Orpington. I know it looks female in the photos but I'm 90% sure it's a slow developing male. I need to get a picture with it standing next to...

Looks female to me with the small snood, mohawk, and pale wattles. I only kept turkeys for a year but all of my toms were obviously male by that age. Even at a month old they were practicing their little tom struts.

Rest in Peace little Pingu 🌻
