    9 week old pullet with swollen chest.

    I'll check on her again in the morning in that case. I noticed that my latest bag of crumbles had random kernels of corn, so I introduced some chick grit to them for the first time about 4 days ago. If it hasn't remedied, I'll post some picks of her.

    9 week old pullet with swollen chest.

    I've got a flock of 9 week old chicks and I notice one was sitting to drink while the rest were standing. I picked it up and noticed that it was really swollen out front in the breast/gizzard area. I'm a little concerned there may be tumors there. Anyone have a guess or can anyone give me some...

    Sussex Hen or Rooster

    I am certain about the 32 weeks. We got these as chicks in March. This one tries to crow (it's not very loud). Also he doesn't squat like the hens do when I walk up to them. The thing that makes me doubt is the lack of spurs and that it doesn't appear to have saddle or tail feathers typical of...

    Thanks everybody. Sounds like it's time for us to enjoy some chicken and noodles.

    Sussex Hen or Rooster

    That's what I thought too. When do they get their spurs? I thought those would have grown in by now.

    I'll try another another pic, but I imported it as the largest and it still didn't expand.

    Sussex Hen or Rooster

    I had determined that this Sussex I have is a rooster, but he still doesn't have spurs and is 32 weeks. Did I make a mistake or is this a hen with a masculine haircut? Need to know before I make chicken noodles out of one of my layers.

    Speckled Sussex?

    My 18 week old speckled sussex. How concerned should I be that she is starting to look like a rooster to me? No spurs and no crowing but the comb, as you can see, is much more advanced than my other speckled. What say you egger or roaster?
