    Hen or roo???

    I have 8.5 week old Sultan and polish. I'm pretty sure the polish is an hen but my sultan has me baffled. What do you all think? Sultan (Fluffy) Polish (Puff Daddy)

    Lice, it won't go away :(

    When to expect eggs?

    I clipped their wings today, so their attempts to hop the fence to roost flopped. I found them huddled on my table Picked them up and put them in the coop. They have had 5 nights in the coop. I hope they figure it out soon, they are not meaty enough for dinner!!!
