Ok, I’ll keep watching! Here is her brother who hatched at the same time. It’s harder to compare them because he’s not frizzled obviously. But I hope Stick is a girl because I just sold three of my pullets (her sisters) today haha
Here’s a pic of the comb area! I don’t think Polish get combs; at least, my Polish hen doesn’t have one. And here’s a better pic of the wattles I saw today!
This is Stick, and she is 13.5 weeks old! I was pretty sure she’s a she, but I noticed her wattle area getting red. I mean they have to develop at some point, right? Or do you think Stick is a cockerel?
Our chick, Maple, seems to have a crossbeak that is getting worse. The two pictures were taken a month apart. Why would this be happening? What should I do to help her?
We hatched out 6 Polish chicks and they are now 13 weeks old! One (not pictured) is definitely a cockerel, but I think these other 5 are pullets. Do you agree? They are frizzled which has made it harder to tell but I don’t think I’m seeing any saddle or hackle feathers and their brother...
Wow this is tough! I’m not much help except to say 2 is definitely a male because of his crest and some saddle feathers, and I also think 6 is a pullet.
I also think it would be a good idea to consider keeping more than one of them for your flock. I had only one and she was bullied ruthlessly...
