This girl started molting 3 months ago. In the last 2 weeks she seems to have stopped growing any new feathers. Any suggestions on how to help her get her feathers back?
This is my second year with a polish chicks, and I’m Still trying to decide this one’s gender. We had a polish hen die & purchased this chick sold as a hen to add another to the flock. Now I’m afraid we might have a rooster. 4 weeks old.
This morning our 1yr old Polish hen was dead on her roost. No injuries, no sign of illness. It looked like she died in her sleep. She had always been small but seemed healthy- only started laying eggs 2 months ago. Should I be worried about our other chickens? They all seem healthy & happy.
First time chicken keeper this year. Two of the 8 chicks we bought are polish crested but they don’t look alike. Is one a rooster? The one is black with a very rounded crown, the other buff one has longer head feathers.
