    Roo or pullet?? 12 wk sussex

    This 12wk old light sussex is keeping me guessing. I thought from 3 weeks that it was a clear hen. I just went away for 2 weeks and came back to its comb and wattles significantly big and redder. More then the other pullets, less then the roos. I settled on it being a roo. But then I saw one of...

    1st chick roughing up eggs

    This is probably silly, but I'll ask anyway! First time hatching. First chick has successfully hatched but is roughing up all the eggs as she's getting up and around. Is this OK?!

    6wo Sussex x Barnevelder gender guesses!

    These are my 6 week old light sussex cross barnevelders (plus a coronation sussex in there too). Any guesses on genders? Im thinking 3 and 3 at the moment purely based on their combs as their feathering and body type has thrown me completely off! I failed to get an individual snap of the 6th...
