    How to manage two broody hens

    I’ve had pretty big conflict with broodies. My one main broody is docile as can be (her chicks get so used to us that when she stops mothering they, they’ll fly on our shoulders if they want protection). But one time another hen went broody and if either of their respective chicks went near...

    Is this cockerel a secret pullet?

    Just wanted to give a quick update! I’ll try to update once she starts laying, but we’re fairly sure she’s an EE pullet at this point. Her feathers were so stripped when I took her (I’m guessing because she was the only pullet in a pen of all cockerels) that her stance really made her look...

    I’d love to see photos if you end up getting any! I can’t picture what he would look like as a rooster at this point but I know he could just be really slow to mature. This is another (horrendous) photo showing him (far left) with our crested cream legbar and Icelandic cockerels that are 4-6...

    I’m a bit excited about it, TBH! We’ll likely keep him either way since he’s so submissive and the kids like him, so if he end up laying it’s just a bonus at this point!

    Is this cockerel a secret pullet?

    I did not know about the skinny legs that a few people have mentioned was an indicator for the sex! I think you’re right about the mix - I don’t know of any pure breeds with both muffs and barring like that, now that I think about it. The behaviour has really been a tell as well - I’m sure the...

    It wouldn’t surprise me at all if she got a few EEs with her hatching eggs, so that’s a very real possibility. I normally ask more questions but because he was a random freebie and it was after dark we didn’t discuss it too much. The chicks I got from her were salmon faverolles from her...

    Oh wow, he’s extremely similar even down to the pullet-like features. Do you happen to know if his wattles/comb developed a lot after that?

    Not great photos but possibly might be helpful? Do you mean the saddle feathers around the neck or the area where the rooster would mount a hen?

    I got him/her from someone local that bought hatching eggs.

    The face definitely made me think it might be an EE or an ameraucana mixed with something barred.

    Oh I do have photos of the legs! Hopefully at an angle that is useful.

    I’m going to see if I have one. Otherwise will have to take one tomorrow as it’s late here, but I think I do.

    Is this cockerel a secret pullet?

    Could that be what he is? All I know is that he came from hatching eggs but I believe they were all pure breeds - she was going to let me know the possible breeds but never got back to me and I didn’t want to push given that he was free 😂

    I don’t think there’s any leakage! The photo with my daughter (blue shirt) holding him is probably the truest representation of his colouring, but the entire body is the same colour (and white).
