    Golden Comets : Pullet or Cockerel?

    Thanks for the advice. I ended up dispatching her yesterday. She is in bad shape. Struggling to breath, gasping for air and breathing with an extended neck. She became very lathargic and I just didn't want her suffer further. After doing more research, she had all the signs for gapeworm...

    Golden Comets : Pullet or Cockerel?

    I exchanged the questionable pullet, but now one the other ones is wheezing and appears to have labored breathing. She's eating and pooping, so I don't know how sick she is. I'm not sure what to do. Respiratory infection?

    I bought them from a nearby farmer who just breeds them for locals. They have a very small operation. I didn't ask specifically what chickens were bred, so it's likely not first generation, but I'll follow up with them on that. They will take back any cockerels/roos and exchange them without any...

    Golden Comets : Pullet or Cockerel?

    I just picked up these Golden Comets yesterday and was told they "should" all be pullets. The one on the right with the cream colored head has a lot of traits that resemble a cockerel to me. Is it possible that if this isn't a first generation that the lighter colored one could be a pullet...

    Hello From Beaverton OR

    Quite the flock you have! Does anyone know the regulations for Aloha, OR? We live on a street that is interchangable between Beaverton and Aloha. We are interested in getting chickens, rabbits and turkeys. Thanks!
