ok so I did the soak thing, and was able to see what the issue is and this is the dilemma:
Bare with me as I do not know the terms that are proper but ok so where the eggs come out, that pouch of skin, it isn't back in her and has like a calcium buildup around the opening of it not her actual...
Thank you for the advice. Just to specify I am NOT scared to pick them up I just didn't want to hurt her more by having her freak out. At night would be a good idea, but so how long would she need to be isolated from the others? I am pretty sure its the whatever you said, I have been doing...
I'm a first year chicken owner and for the past 6 months they have been great. No issues or anything, today I go out and see that one of my female GSL is missing a ton of her under but feathers and it's matty and white and wet and has a bloody sack hanging out of her butt. I tried to get her...
Ok so my I have two cuckoo maran hens and as I cracked into my first egg I saw that it was twins, I figured the next one would be regular and wanted to see so asked if my husband wanted an egg and he said yes and I cracked that Maran egg and it was a twin too, the kids were so excited and I had...
I love seeing pictures, ya he was definetly a rooster so out of 13 I got one rooster! PERFECT and the one that I wanted. His feet are feathered and I just love that... and he already has a few select wom hens that he is connected too! I don't know what I would do without them. They are about...

YOU ARE AMAZING, these pictures are very helpful and as are you :) LOL so Im still confused with the count of the wattles? It looks like the ladies have only one right? and the cock's have two? Is this right?
or no... I can't ever seem to get a pic face on, so you can see how it is... but...
It's weird cause in some pics I see with Black Copper Marans the girls have pretty large combs too, but I do notice their feathers do NOT have a blue-green tint. Is this a fair observation, when do the females usually develop combs?

Im trying to do the math in my head when I got him, because I got the other hens right before easter, like the week before. Then when they were good size so I am thinking when they were about 1- 1 &1/2 mo old I got the other three, 2 sex links and this one. My daughter suckered me into it when...
Thank you so much, everyone for your opinion. I did think it was a rooster but because so many people were telling me otherwise I didn't want to sound stupid. LOL AHHHH who could have thought this could be so frustrating. HAHA. His name is COPPER LOL, and he is a sweetie. THANK YOU, for the...
I posted this already once but somehow it got edited and deleted. So this will be brief, I need help figuring out if this is pullet or cock. I am SO new to the chicken world, I love my chickens and want to know if there is a rooster in there. I sometimes hear what I think to be a premature...
