    The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

    I am finding that the comb isn't a the best indicator for gender in this breed. My pullets have feathered out faster than the cockerels. Also the cockerels chest feathers tend to have a lot of white. Their being such a slow maturing breed makes them challenging to sex at a young age.

    how long do I let her sit?

    What happened with your hatch? Where in Idaho are you located? I am in the Treasure Valley. I would be interested in an extra cockerel.

    should i check egss under broody hen??

    Your hens seem to be good mama's at this point. I would trust them to care for the chicks and deal with any problems if they arise. As long as the mama's are accepted as part of the flock then their chicks should be as well.
