    3 month old Polish frizzle- pullet or cockerel??

    I know she’s sooooo frizzy haha and has such weird colouring with her lighter chest and white streaks so I’ve been second guessing haha

    3 month old Polish frizzle- pullet or cockerel??

    I hope so!! 🤞 It’s so hard to tell whether her saddle and hackle feathers are round or pointy when she’s so frizzy!

    3 month old Polish frizzle- pullet or cockerel??

    Hi guys, I’ve never raised a polish frizzle from a chick before so am second guessing the gender of this little one. She’s bigger and sassier than my other polish chick and I’ve not ever seen one with her weird colouring. I haven’t been able to find much from searching about what a cockerel...

    Pullet or cockerel?? 1 month old silver pencilled bantam Wyandotte chick

    Oh amazing!! I found so much info on silver laced but nothing on the colouring differences between silver pencilled Roos and hens. So can safely say she’s a pullet then, and thank goodness cause I’m pretty attached haha she’s very sweet!

    Pullet or cockerel?? 1 month old silver pencilled bantam Wyandotte chick

    Oh great good to know! She’s had me stressing as she seemed way more developed then my polishes the same age. She looks like this now a few weeks later and is definitely redder (it is VERY hot here today too so not sure if that affects things) but not much growth in her wattles and still no comb...

    Pullet or cockerel?? 1 month old silver pencilled bantam Wyandotte chick

    Awesome, it’s hard to see in the pics but she has little wattles starting which was what was making me second guess

    Pullet or cockerel?? 1 month old silver pencilled bantam Wyandotte chick

    Hi all, Got this little chick as a sexed female but those little pink wattles have got me questioning her gender. I’ve never had wyandottes before, and she’s my only one being raised with two polishes so I have nothing to compare her with. I’ve read that with the pencilled wyandottes the males...

    Severe Inner Ear Infection - No antibiotic seems to be helping. Please Help!

    Did your hen show any improvement?? I’ve been battling with something similar for months now. I initially thought it was vitamin deficiency but later found an ear infection but nothing seems to be making a difference. It’s not getting any worse but not getting better

    Sick or just old age/dying??!

    Yep same hen! I’m not sure if it was respiratory or not but I treated her for a bunch of things and the coughing ended up clearing up after a while. I treated her for an impacted crop about a month ago as it wasn’t emptying which really seem to help. She doesn’t have lice or mites that I can...

    Sick or just old age/dying??!

    Hi all, I have an old girl (not sure of age but at least 5yo+ ) who has been really off balance the last few days. It’s been getting progressively worse and she’s started falling over and can’t get herself back up without help. She’s still interest in food and water and when I help her up she...

    Help with possible respiratory illness??

    She doesn’t have any bubbling or foam in her eyes, and no face swelling at all. Just the cough and funny sounds when she breathes. I used this antibiotics as I had it on hand and it says it is used to treat respiratory infections and I have used it in the past for the same reason and it has...

    Help with possible respiratory illness??

    Hi all, I have a very old girl that I rescued two or so months ago and have been nursing back to health. She’s been going really well until maybe two weeks ago when she started coughing. The coughing seem to happen most when she’s eating too quickly or if she over exerts herself. She also...

    Are my Belgian d’Uccle pullets mottled??

    They are both the same colour it’s just the lighting haha one was full sun and the other taken at night.

    Are my Belgian d’Uccle pullets mottled??

    Hi all, I got these tiny little Belgian d’Uccles as day olds and was told they were mottled (so would be black and white). They are now somewhere between 3-4 months old and are still all black. Will they get their spots as they get older/moult? Or will they stay black? I don’t mind either way...
