    Pullet holds one wing higher than the other?

    The grey easter egger in front. Its her right wing the one facing the camera, bad pic but its all I got. Shes about 8 or 9 weeks. Looking back when theyre 4 weeks at pictures I noticed the same thing.

    Pullet holds one wing higher than the other?

    I’ve noticed it’s not broken or sprained and her wing has been like this throughout her growth development so far, just the way she holds it I guess?

    Pullet or cockerel?

    This is my 2 week or 3 week old silver laced Wyandotte, I bought “her” in the sexes pullet section but she is bigger than the other wyandotte that I have, did I get an accidental rooster or is this a pullet?

    Chick+broody hen adoption attempt tonight......nervous

    Well it was a fail...She got scared and pecked at them (and thew one of them ) DON'T WORRY THOUGH, THEY WERE FINE. Scared me though, I put them in a brooder. I also am giving them away to another chicken owner today. At least all my hens get a supply of 40lbs of non medicated chick starter now lol.

    pullet sleeping issues...

    I have 2 pullets and 4 big girls. Pullets are 18 mo. They are fully integrated since 8 weeks. They all roost at night except one, she stares at the roost and looks afraid to jump up there and ends up sleeping under the wall feeder. They have plenty of room to jump and the 2by4 roost is 8 feet...
