    Breed and Gender Guesses?

    We picked this little one out of a straight run mix... he/she has kind of cool little mohawk. Any ideas on what type of chicken and which gender? Thank you!

    Hen's Leg Swelling

    Thank you. I don't think it was frost bite, as it never turned black. She's doing great otherwise. She's getting extra love and attention from the kids. She enjoys being fed apples. I was worried the other hens would pick on her but so far they are all still being nice to her.

    Hen's Leg Swelling

    I've had her for a year now, never had any problems. No leg bands. She ended up losing her feet but she's still doing well with the flock. Eating and getting around so far. The other hens usually stay close to her during the day. My ex says to put her down, but she seems fine?

    Black Sex Links Gender Question

    Hi everyone! I have 6 black sex links. Right now they are 3 weeks old. All are supposed to be female, but while 5 of them started growing in tail feathers last weekend, one of them does not have any tail feathers. I know they are sexed by whether they have a white dot on their head are not, but...
