    Is the brown chick a boy?

    Age? What makes you think the mostly brown one is male? Right now nothing is screaming male to me. Although if they're under 6 weeks there really isn't anything solid to base our guesses on. None of them have male specific dimorphic coloration (or female specific for that matter). All of them...

    Ainawgsd's farm chickens

    Husband came home from checking on the farm chickens after dark and reported that her bad foot seemed more swollen. So we went out to check on it. She had a tiny, rock hard plug on the top that quite literally popped right off when we removed the bandage! It still feels swollen like she might...

    Any guesses on genders?

    Those combs look awfully big for 4 weeks. It's too soon to say with any certainty, but I'm leaning heavily towards both being males.

    Fish Thread

    Ethari has developed so many blue speckles since my last update! I also finally found the right size/shape of driftwood for his tank the week before Thanksgiving.

    We got the green ones too! Sometimes I look at something and go, "that's hideous, I  love it!"

    Open Contest Winter on the Farm Photo Contest

    I hear instant mashed potatoes make a good enough snow substitute for movie sets 😜 A slightly more serious suggestion though, you could probably get creative with some snowflake tree ornaments or white balls made into a beach themed snowman.

    She would have to be (unless I'm wrong and he's not double barred). It's odd that she has that red patch on her shoulder, that's normally a male specific coloration.

    My Sapphire Gem Turned Mottled After Molting.

    Hmmm. My first thought is that she didn't molt all of her feathers. The brown ones all look ragged compared to the blue ones. If they're old, sun bleached feathers that didn't molt out that would explain the color difference. Otherwise whatever caused the odd feather color also caused some...

    Barring is dominant over black (and pretty much all other colors except dominant white). If a male has two copies of barring, then every single one of his chicks will be barred. If a male has only one copy, as yours appears to, then his chicks, both male and female, have a 50% chance of being...

    Yeah, unfortunately I also think both are boys. The lighter one for sure, he's lighter because he's double barred (two copies of the gene for barring, one from each parent) which is  only possible in males.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    The only downside to wing bands over leg bands is that you can't see them unless the bird is in hand after a few weeks. Which means you can't use them to tell birds apart at a distance.

    Pretty! I love non-traditional colors for holiday nails. And candy cane stripes gotta be one of my favorite designs.
