I’m not sure. The last 2 I raised had whiter hackle feathers at this age. But the comb does worry me.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Thanks all, that's very helpful. I will definitely give the trimming a try.

Oh, she definitely has trouble seeing where she is. She does not even seem able to fly up onto the roosts in the coop. I have thought about trimming around her eyes but have been quite nervous to do so. Anyone have advice on the best way to do that?

Sorry to be so vague with the thread title, but I couldn't think of a succinct way to describe this issue. I have this Swedish Flower Hen who insists on sitting in this doorway all the time. When the door closes in the evening (it's on a timer), more often than not, she ends up outside. She is...

Thanks. I have read that and I have a rooster flock already. QUOTE="RoostersAreAwesome, post: 19545969, member: 479229"]If you have too many roosters for your hens, you should check this out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-flocks.72998/

I have 2 blue and one splash. Hatched 9/25/17. Handsome boys. Willing to transport at least an hour in any direction from Greenfield.

How old is she? I have some 16-week-old pullets I am waiting on.

Does anybody have white Isbars? I got this one from Greenfire end of September. All the others are black or splash. Late developing splash? Thoughts?

Bumping this thread because I have the same question and no one answered the OP. I got Isbars from Greenfire and all of the pullets are black except this one. Hatched September 29. I thought they were only blue, black or splash. Thanks for any input.

Thanks for that. I was hoping you would chime in as you seem to have specific knowledge of this breed. I was afraid you might say that too. I had noted the hackle feathers seemed cockerel-ish. They are Greenfire Farms birds, so they'd better be good specimens! :p They are appealing and...

Now they are 15 weeks. Any more thoughts on sex? The one on the left has larger wattles and seems to be getting some pointy saddle feathers, so I'm guessing cockerel on that one. The third picture is of the one on the right which I still hope could be a pullet.

10 weeks old I have another that looks just the same but am having trouble uploading the other pictures. Thoughts on this one or too early to tell? Thanks!

I know this thread is a little old and was originally about rooster maturity, but it was the closest I could find without starting a new thread. I have 2 Buff Brahmas from McMurray that were hatched March 13th and neither is laying yet. When do Brahmas usually start laying? All the other...

Thank you. That's helpful. All the gold cuckoo maran chick photos I've seen are pretty dark. This is what it looked like at 5 days old. And, thanks, I will take that band off now.

Mystery Chick from Meyer Hatched 3/13/17 Any clues? Feathered feet. Cochin maybe? On the left here. Seems like pullet to me, but I am not that experienced at this. Thanks for any help.
