    Round 3 - Pullet or Cockerel

    Our attempts to build a micro flock of 3 hens has been challenging - our "pullets" keep turning out to be "roos!" We hatched 15 chicks back in July and kept 2. We also got a couple of silkies of unknown sex. Shortly after they arrived, the older silkie started to crow. Oops. He went off...

    Please tell me she's a pullet:-)

    Thanks for the encouragement Imp:-) Based on personality alone, I would have said pullet - nothing roostery about his/her behavior at all. Not sure if this matters, but the black pullet in the pic (looks like a pullet and has a pale comb) picked on this one in the beginning. Doesn't hurt to...

    Please tell me she's a pullet:-)

    I was afraid that would be the case:( I kept two of the 15 chicks we hatched and this one was the quietest, most laid back one of them all- was sure it would be a hen -- till those tail feathers started coming in. He'll have to be exchanged:( No roos allowed. Too bad- he was my favorite...

    Why doesnt everyone use a water bottle for their chicks?

    Very cute! It didn't take long for me to switch to a rabbit bottle after I saw what a mess the chickies made with the quail waterer. LOVE it!!!

    Chick looks like a porcupine

    Thx Liz! Does anyone know why this might be happening? Do I just have a lazy chick?

    Chick looks like a porcupine

    Is it normal for a chick NOT to remove the wax off its feathers? My runty chick has feathers growing but is leaving the waxy coating on them - it looks like a porcupine! Other behaviors are normal - it's eating/drinking/acting fine. All my other chicks are feathering out fine and keeping...
