But I'm not sure if you were asking about that one lol... the other 3 look to be hens to me, BUT it is still early.
I have Amerecauna/BCM crosses and I knew by 6 weeks they were roosters because of the saddle feathers growing in. They have pea combs so there...
An olive egger is a bird that comes from a homozygous blue and a homozygous brown.
Easter eggers do not have 2 homozygous parents.

So instead of sugardine I...
Thank you.
No she isn’t limping on it or remotely even acting like it even exists lol
Should I keep soaking it every couple of days and putting the sugardine on the foot pad? Or just let it go free and keep watch?
I am back!
