This little black one is the only one like it. I don't mind I just was not expecting it lol. The baby is much smaller than the others also. All my birds of this type are standard polish and all are White crested blacks. I also have Brahmas which are huge but they are not with the polish

I bought 4 Buff Brahma pullets so I thought. All were the same size when I got them almost 5 weeks ago Now I am wondering if any are hens at all. I was told 3 rows of pea combs means rooster. Anyone have a clue as hen or roo?

I am going to build one and just wanted to see what others have done and how it worked out for them

pullet or roo different chicks. A man told me you can tell by the comb as early as 4 weeks so I did some research. From what I am reading, if there are 3 rows of peas it is a roo, one set is pullet. If this is true, out of the 4 pullets I bought 3 of them are roos. Is any one familiar...
