Some slight moult. They've only really just gotten all of their adult feathers but have lost a few given the change in season. Could this have something to do with it? Thanks again

Hi guys Just wondering if someone could help me out. I have a flock of 8 mixed breeds which are about 14wks old. Today I noticed that one of my light Sussex girls is having some issues keeping upright. She seems to be wobbly and generally walking backwards then eventually falling over. She...

Hi guys I posted this a couple days ago but I think the pics went a bit funny so am posting again in the hope of some help.... Bought a mixed bunch of week olds (few weeks ago now!) and was told one of the bunch is an Andalusian...however I'm not so convinced. I'm thinking it might be a bit...

Hello again! Ok so I've managed to pick out my pullets now but am stuck with this little one. At 9/10 wks now I'm leaning toward roo but the breed has got me puzzled too. I was told he/she was an Andalusian but on inspection it's not looking likely. He/she is growing a very distinctive pea comb...

Not sure if this pic is any better!!! They're both together tho

Thank you! I guessed so about the LH & LS! Here's the other leghorn and another sussex which I *think* may be a pullet.

Hi there! Hope you dont mind me jumping on the back of this thread.... I've a couple of 'roos in question' if you wouldnt mind sharing some expertise... Thank you 7 wk RIR Leg horn 7 wks (I'm trying to find a pic of his 'sister', she's smaller than 'he' is and 'her' tail is smaller...

I've also got a lav araucana (aussie type) and was given a lucky dip of an andalusian - neither of which I'm finding that easy to sex (I think both are notorious for being difficult but could be wrong). Both have a bit of a 'sticky up' tail, I'll try and get a photo but he/she/they werent in...

Ok so fortunately the 'boys' were feeling a bit more photogenic today (plus the rain held off) Photo 2 im sure is a roo, photo 1 i'm thinking roo too and 3 im pretty sure is a hen (or destined to be). Thanks again!

Thanks chicken girl. I'll try and get a couple of better pics today. Hopefully the rain will let up for a bit! Which Roo were you sure about? I'm thinking top one??

Hi all I currently have a flock of mixed breed chicks which despite all doing really well are getting to the point where i need to know what they are destined to be. I've got a few pics to post but I will start with my RIR. The first two I'm pretty sure are boys and the last little one I...

Thank you! I was brought up in Yorkshire actually! But hadnt lived there for a long time before we left. :)

Just wanted to say a quick Hello and introduce myself (this is my second post now, the first disappeared into cyber space so apologies if I've duplicated!) I kept chickens for many years back in the UK and have recently started my hobby again here in Australia. I had trouble finding...

Hi all, Just wanted to say Hello I kept chickens many years ago back in the UK and have started my hobby again here in Australia! I found it tricky getting the pullet breeds that I wanted so started with a 'gamble' flock of mixed breed week old chicks instead! All are around the 6/7 wk...
