    What are these scabs on William's face?

    She isn't! She is very protective of me and will attack him if he even thinks about attacking me (which is quite often).

    What are these scabs on William's face?

    Yeah, he's not having any swelling. Also, I've watched how my hen deals with him. She will mount him and peck his face if he attempts to peck her.

    What are these scabs on William's face?

    Hello all! This is my rooster, William. I am so sorry for the horrible quality image. If you look under his eyes and on his wattles, you can see that he has scablike markings. For clarity, I circled where the scabs are. My dominant hen has been attacking him and pecking his face but I just...

    How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

    Of course. Here's a photo with her legs in it.

    How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

    I'm not in doubt, but my dad and my agriculture science teacher are because Fuzzy and Lucky look similar. I say most definitely pullet for Lucky because she doesn't have a red comb extending to the back of her head or a trace of wattles.

    How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

    I've gotten different answers. Some say pullet, some say cockerel, so I'm not exactly sure what to think. Fuzzy is definitely a cockerel though.

    How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

    Lucky has no wattles at all, and the phone camera is making her comb look red, but her comb is actually dark gray and only extends just beyond her beak. Fuzzy's comb, on the other hand, is a very bright red and extends almost to the back of his head. Also, Fuzzy's wattles are bulgy and bright...

    How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

    Is Lucky a pullet or cockerel? My dad insists that she is a cockerel because of her feathers, but to me, feathers do not matter.

    How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

    Here is my 6 week old lavender Orpington x silkie chick. (I'm leaning towards her being a pullet) And here is her brother Fuzzy. Both of them are six weeks old. Fuzzy is definitely a cockerel. I'm leaning towards Lucky being a pullet. How do I know for sure if Lucky is a pullet?

    6 week old lavender Orpington, pullet or cockerel?

    They definitely have silkie in them because of fluffy legs but no fluffy feet, just legs. Fuzzy is definitely part silkie.

    Official BYC Poll: Who’s Your Worst Chicken Predator of All Time?

    My own dog. Ever since my chicks hatched she's been barking and growling at them and going up to the brooder and pawing at them inside the brooder. If I'm sitting on the floor with them in my lap, she comes over and tries to get at them 😫

    6 week old lavender Orpington, pullet or cockerel?

    Her brother has 5 toes, but she does not, so I think they are half-siblings since they share a lavender Orpington mom. Her brother might be half silkie.

    6 week old lavender Orpington, pullet or cockerel?

    Yes, my dad insists that Lucky is a cockerel but I doubt it because her crest is not even red and there is almost no sign of wattles, compared to her brother's very long and extremely bright red comb and noticeable bright red wattles. About her brother—her brother is friendly too, but he can get...

    6 week old lavender Orpington, pullet or cockerel?

    Yes she does have silkies. I just know that my chicks are part lavender Orpington. Mom was a lavender Orpington, but I don't know what dad was and she doesn't know either.
