    What breed is this and is it boy or girl?

    If you look toward the tail the feathers are rounded =hen. If the feathers are pointed/also known as saddle feathers, it will be a Rooster.

    I have a fuzzy butt!

    Absolutely normal when they "quiet" down. Sometimes they will start to pip, you think they will never hatch; then you go do something else(dishes, laundry etc) and they are already out and half dry when you get back. It usually takes eggs from 1-3 days to hatch, some are just quicker than...

    How do I tell a Jersey Giant pullet from an Australorp pullet?

    To tell our Giants from our Australorps I put all blue leg bands on my Australorps and orange leg bands on all the Giants. That way when one runs by I know which breed it is! :)They look very similar so it would be very easy to mistake them sometimes.
