Hard to say on gender..they look dull in color.. I would guess one is a male on the left because of size of comb. curved beaks is a cull.(IMO)some will eventually starve to death..not a good life imo..many people keep them and some even breed them...sad but true.

I sometimes hate to give my opinions..I know that bird comes from good lines however he will also pass on some things you might need to consider. The biggest is wing carriage and shoulder placement. Those are two pretty important features in Wyandottes. It is what gives them all the round...

Nice hard tail feathers on your dotties Wyandodo

This is what I was told: Inverted Leaders or sprigs are hard to breed out. You can try breeding it out for years and still have it pop out down the road in all the offspring. It is just not worth the money and time to fix it..it is a cull. This is just for WHAT IF: Lets just say you want...

Congrats on your purchase..it has some great pages on head types..you will learn so much in those first 30 or so pages. Males usually get wattles pretty early. So if you see tiny little wattles growing in a few week..those are boys. The boys also have color to the comb and wattles. Girls are...

Many different ways..I am no expert on hatching shipping eggs..I have only been doing it for a few years. I am pretty good at it. After many many fails and many many mistakes. You do need to let them rest..6-8 hours You do need to candle and use *what you see* as a determining factor on what you...

Thank you very much for the information. It all helps me in my decision to vaccinate my new chicks or not. I am grateful it is not up north but I think with my increase in showing I probably should start to vaccinate.

That link did not work for me.. It came up a blank page of resource document Birds die from Mareks? For some reason I though they got ill and were carriers to infect everyone else and that was the danger.

Thank you for your information..I have only seen graphic pictures of birds unable to move laying in pile of dirty poop. It is unrealistic when I understand that Mareks is the second killer of chickens. It is rare in colder climates, but it can be brought here through the shows. I have been...

Questions about MareksI why would an adult get Mareks? Why would they not have an immunity already if it is so prevalent? Did you have the bird tested?

I still need to see a picture if it is at the very back.it might be the very beginning of your leader. non of these can be answered on an un-existing picture.

without this picture..I could not help.i sure hope someone else might know what you mean..If I were to guess it would be an inversion of some kind. Or it could be a correct comb and be the actual leader you are talking about and it is just immature.

I kinda like your pens..are they new? what do you like about them? If you had to do it over what would you change? I am asking these questions because I free range all of my birds..i lock them up only when I am breeding and they are locked up indoors in pens. I am considering doing like outdoor...
