Was feeling confident that Midnight was a pullet but in the last couple weeks her comb and wattles have grown huge (especially compared to her sister who is from the same batch). I don't think I see male hackle or saddle feathers but this is my first go-round in 35+ years with chickens. I'm...
Good to know about new feathers. Pretty sure her top hat feathers are good to trim then ... Will study up a bit on then and also check out your link. I like her silly flighty self so it's ok if she doesn't calm too much. She's in a fully enclosed pen so she can't get to far!
Thanks! I'm really hoping for a pullet - I've been leaning towards thinking that since there are literally no wattles yet at all (but I think she's bearded so don't know if they'll show much)!
I know this may be a silly question, but can you hurt them by trimming feathers or is it like...
Hi All!! I have a Golden Laced Polish that I'm wondering if they are a he or she! Any thoughts from anyone with more experience than me (very very little!) Some days I see pointier feathers up top, others days rounded. I've also read in here a bit about trimming their head feathers or...

Thanks for your thoughts on Scrambled! This is Smidge .. she's tiny compared to the others her age ... she was billed as an EE but I'm wondering what you think! EE? Brown Leghorn? EE Brownleghorn cross? Something else? Probably 10 weeks old in these pictures. Thanks!
Hi! Would love to hear any thoughts on my young Polish ... 9-10 weeks old. Pretty sure my other chicks are all pullets but this has me stumped! Tried on the polish thread but no responses ! Thanks!

Those are a little older than mine (probably 3 weeks or so) ... the one has a big comb and wattles (mine has none showing and looks more like your other one) but that 'do sure looks a lot like Scrambled's!! I'm totally confused as to what he/she is at this point!
