    Anyone have experience with a blind chicken?

    Oh, I thought she would be smaller 🙂 I've got na Australorp 20 weeks old and she's also small, smaller than a regular chicken. In fact, some of my 12 weeks are the same size as her. The cockerel is bigger than her already. She is nice and round and has a developed comb though. Anyway Kiora...

    Anyone have experience with a blind chicken?

    @PhantomSlayer How's Kiora doing? My chicken is fine. I've been at home the last month so I could make sure she eats properly - she is not so clever at foraging and at the moment we have too many chickens and she is rather at the bottom of the pecking order. The plan is to limit the number of...

    Male or female?

    That's so interesting! I wish I had some chicks to test 😅

    Australorp roo or pullets?

    Just to update - looks like all the questioned birds are pullets. The one I really thought was a male from early days (comb got orangy pink) is a girl too. I'm so glad, she has such nice colours (very light blue). Her and the cockerel for comparison. 11.5 weeks

    Australorp roo or pullets?

    In that case I've got nothing to worry about - planned 10, have got 23 at the moment (after 6 silkies are gone) - one is a male i have to cull, 1 male I am keeping for now but don't have to and 1 is a (mentally) disabled chick (don't know the gender) which will be gone at some point.

    Australorp roo or pullets?

    Oh now I get it 😅 Smart decision! I've just sold all my silkies for the same reason (space). And was lucky because that guy took all of them including 2 cockerels. I will have to sell Australorp pullets too because now I've got to many 😅 (if the questionable one is a girl that would make it 12...

    Oh no.... Only 4 girls? That sucks 😓 Why did you only keep one girl?

    That's her with the cockerel for comparison. I'm still hoping for a girl 😉

    Australorp roo or pullets?

    After 2 weeks I have only one doubt: no 1 from this post. Pretty red (not as red as in the photos but still pinkier than the others) but comb and wattles seem not to be growing. What do you think? Exactly 8 weeks today.

    Australorp roo or pullets?

    Oh i don't understand why they are in a different order... So again... And yes, they are unpredictable 😅

    Australorp roo or pullets?

    Yes, those large combs. I don't have the fastest developing males though so it makes it more difficult. Still, some of the females have tiny combs, some don't. Go figure :idunno
