    Males or females? How to tell a Leghorn rooster from a hen?

    I rescued a flock of leghorns and I thought I had 4 roosters and 2 hens but now after getting various opinions I dont know! How can I tell which is which? ONly one has spurs. 2 have smaller combs and 4 have larger combs.

    I rescued chickens who are in desperate need of care!

    Here are a few pics of some of the chickens now. Of course its been raining for over a week and it started when I took the straw out and before I added dry straw so its pretty yucky at the moment. I just want to know how many roosters and how many hens I have that are leghorns!

    Ok people, Im very confused now because we thought we had 4 roosters and 2 hens but Ive been given various opinions and all are different! Whats the best way to tell in this breed? Only one of them has spurs. two have small combs and 4 have larger combs (one with large comb has spurs)

    This is the infected foot on one of the chickens I rescued. After opening it up (and after reading on how to fix bumblefoot) When we opened the infected foot, we discovered it had been shot with a BB gun and was infected from that! Chicken pulled of the dressing we had to keep it clean and covered.

    The chickens are doing well. I think we have gotten rid of the mites but their feathers need to grow back on their underside. Im going to post a photo of what I said was Bumble Foot. The one we got the BB out of its foot! I had it clean and wrapped with antibiotic ointment on it but the chicken...

    They were infested with mites/fleas and had no feathers on the underside of them. Two had infected feet from being shot with a BB gun, we pulled the BB out ourselves! In person a few had purple spots on their combs and they were very hungry. The eggs laid were rubbery as a result of needing more...

    I am certain they were dumped off intentionally. Underneath them was infested with mites/fleas and there had NO feathers from all the stratching and feather plucking. Two had infected feet and while trying to work on one of them we discovered it had been shot with a BB gun and we pulled the BB...

    I rescued chickens who are in desperate need of care!

    the chickens looked fairly healthy as you see them in this picture. However, I noticed them constantly biting and scratching and when I looked underneath them there were no feathers from all the scratching and we saw the mites/fleas crawling around. We dusted them in Diatomaceous Earth and added...

    I have been giving them ACV in their water. I have also alternately given them electrolytes and vitamins. Ive given them scrambled eggs and meal worms in addition to the feed.
