    My worst mitemare

    My worst mitemare

    Frostbite?

    Will it wipe off? It looks more like dirt than frostbite but I’m also new to chickens.

    Help: Any hope this is a pullet?

    I’m worried that my friendliest and sweetest chicken is a roo. She(?) is a two month old Cochin Bantam. I didn’t get any others like her to be able to compare to as I got the female bantam small order from cackle hatchery so they just send hatchery’s choice of female bantams. She’s the same size...
