    4 week old polish, any thoughts on gender?

    She still has color coming in, this is our first polish, obviously our first blue, I am calling her blue cause that is what we ordered. I am fine if she is a splash, as long as she is a hen, haha. Now just waiting to see what the other two will end up being. Their little crests are so funny...

    4 week old polish, any thoughts on gender?

    I will try to get another pic of her full body out of her cage. Do they darken at all as they age? I am going to be so so so mad at that hatchery if she isn't blue. Ugh. I will still love her, she is a sweetie, but I will not buy from that hatchery again.

    4 week old polish, any thoughts on gender?

    Well what I ordered from the hatchery was 3 white crested blue polish. When the three of them came, two looked like the pic with the three chicks, the chicks to the left of that pic, the darker ones. And the one in my pic looked like the one on the right of that pic with the three chicks that...

    the one in the first pic is our white crested blue polish named Lucky that we got from the hatchery, she is the one we know is a hen cause she was sexed. thanks for helping. I hope the other two are hens, or at least one of them.

    We have a white crested blue polish we ordered from a hatchery with two other hens that didn't survive the stress of shipping. They were sexed. We didn't want the surviving chick (named Lucky) to be alone, so we went to the feed store and bought two more. Of course they were not sexed, I believe...

    hen with leg issue. Not sure if she is hurt or what. And poop is green

    She doesn't seem to be in any pain and sometimes she seems to walk fine, other times she is walking like she is drunk. she is still on the medicated chick feed. I have the next step up in feed that I could start her on, but I am not sure that that will make a difference. I will keep an eye on...

    hen with leg issue. Not sure if she is hurt or what. And poop is green

    Didn't know what a crop was until now, haha. I do now, I think it is ok, it was a tiny bit more pronounced than the 6month olds, but she had also been eating. She just had a couple brown poops also a little while ago. So that may not be so much of an issue now. I am mostly concerned about her...

    We are new to chickens, we have 3 females. A 6month old, 2 month old and 1 month old. Our 2 month old is acting a little off. I first noticed 2 days ago, that when we hold her she keeps backing up, almost to the point of falling out of your hands. When I put her back in her cage, we watched her...
