    Pullet or Cockerel?

    The pictures I posted earlier were talking yesterday. Here are additional pictures I just took tonight. I think his comb and waddles are even more red than they were last night? His wings also look different than my other chicks. The others have more rows of feathers. I read this is not a...

    Pullet or Cockerel?

I have had suspicions that it is a cockerel even before it’s comb and waddles stated to turn red by its behavior. He is also very squirmy and won’t calm down when I hold him. I would like to...

    Pullet or Cockerel?

    It was in the mixed pullet bin at my local feed store and they did not know the breed. I am guessing silver laced Wyandotte also, but the comb is not right for the breed so that kind threw me off.

    Chest and neck feather picking

    Thank you this is very helpful! I have some starter since I have chicks too so I will add some to their food. Do you think I should mix it with the layer crumbles or just switch them entirely to grower or starter? They have a dish of oysters shells. I have thoroughly checked for parasites and...

    Chest and neck feather picking

    Can anyone tell me some reasons why chickens pick there own feathers out of their neck and chest? I have a 2 year old red sex link that has been doing this for the last 6 month. Recently she even had new feathers coming in but picked them out too. She is not broody and never has been. I don’t...

    Thank you! That is what I have read also. I just have one that has wings that look very different from the others. I’m not sure 100% on the breed but I think she is a white laced Wyandotte? 1 week 2 days.
