    Australorp chicks. Age and Gender?

    My guess is they are all male. Very slow to feather.

    Just a local breeder. They probably would have, I just forgot to ask when I was there.

    Australorp chicks. Age and Gender?

    Thanks for your reply! The more I look at them the more I am leaning towards all of them being male! We will see in a few weeks!

    Australorp chicks. Age and Gender?

    Thanks for your reply. It’s their large comb ( for their age) that’s confusing me.

    Australorp chicks. Age and Gender?

    I have also noticed some green shine on number 2s new feathers coming through. Would this indicate a male too?

    Thank you for all that information. Appreciate it. I am hoping they are all female, anyway, time will tell.

    We picked up some Australorp chicks and we are not sure of the age and gender. Any help would be great.

    Sick hen

    I have a sex link hen that is about 6 months old. She laid for about 2 weeks and now she hasn’t laid for 2 weeks. She is always laying down and seems very lathargic, always closing her eyes and sitting. I have attached a picture of her poo and it seems very runny.

    Depressed chicken???

    Thanks for the info and I’ll do what you say. I’m very new to this. I feed a laying pellet which I just switched too ( I don’t no if they like it) then I feed some kitchen scraps in the arvo with scratch mix.

    Depressed chicken???

    Hmm possibly.. could it happen so fast? She is only 6 months old and I have probably dusted her twice.
