    Roosters or hens? Silkies and polish breed.

    Thank you! I usually photograph portraits/weddings of people, not chickens. Haha! I used my Canon EOS 5D with a 50mm lens. And thanks for the replies everyone! I agree that the two silkies are males and the polish is a female. I named the female Luna. :)

    Roosters or hens? Silkies and polish breed.

    Here are some front-facing as well as (attempted) full shots of the two silkies. All are actually mutts, but definitely have silkie and polish in them.

    Post pics of your Polish chickens

    Here's a picture of a polish hen (I think a hen...?) that I got from family friends. She makes interesting warble-y noises. She's about 12 weeks old and I still haven't come up with a name...feel free to help me think of fun names! My other chickens have names taken from song titles and TV...

    silkie sexing

    Oh good! I just posted a new thread but I'll ask here too...got these from a friend as chicks and I have no idea if they're roosters or hens. About 12 wks old, so not quite 4 months. Any guesses? Any guesses on the polish one would be appreciated too if you can. Pictures included of course...

    Roosters or hens? Silkies and polish breed.

    Hi, I'd love to know if anyone has an educated guess on the sex of these birds. Two are silkies, one is polish...two breeds in which I know very little about their development. I tried to include a number of different angles for size reference to the others especially. Any ideas would be greatly...

    RIR keeps scratching eye, starting to swell (photos)

    Update: I started treating the two pullets I still have. They seem to be fine other than the swollen eye at this point, and if I am treating them they probably won't progress to the point of the pullet I had given back to the breeder. I'm still not sure if it's eyeworm or if it's something...

    My poor girls. They are in quarantine now too as I have two Delaware pullets about the same age that are not showing signs.

    RIR keeps scratching eye, starting to swell (photos)

    I gave her back to the breeder. Her eye had become completely swollen shut, still no discharge or bubbles, and I heard her sneeze a few times, plus gurgle once or twice. Only for one day though, then she was back to chirping normally. I may have had to do with some dust that blew into her...

    RIR keeps scratching eye, starting to swell (photos)

    I just brought home three Rhode Island Red mixes today, and I am brand-new to hen-raising (for eggs). They will begin laying in about 10 weeks, and I am concerned about one of them. I noticed that her eye was shut for a few seconds at the seller's home, but then it opened and it looked fine so I...
