    Guesses on if we have pullet or roo Easter Eggers?

    So - I am going to share one more pic. PD Watermelon does seem to have some splotchy feathering on their chest. Could this be the first signs of the splotchy color of a roo? Or is this coloring on the side what is most telling with Easter Eggers? I think this same ones comb is slightly more pink...

    Guesses on if we have pullet or roo Easter Eggers?

    Hi - I'd love some help on if anyone thinks these 7ish week old Easter Eggers are looking more roo-ish or Pullet-y? I am leaning towards one starting to look more like a little roo - but not sure. The first image is: Poka dot necklace watermelon (3 year old named it) - has brighter neck...

    Needing advice and ideas on my hen!

    I gave her the calcium citrate + D for a week and a half straight. She would literally eat it out of my hand when I broke the pill in two. I am still giving her some - but was concerned I'd overload her - especially now that she is not laying. I'll work on the B Complex. She doesn't take it...

    Soo... Rainbow is now standing up more. She is trying to walk on her feet. However, her feet look like they are not bending at the "wrist" and a toe on each foot doesn't wrap around the roost bar. (She did decide she wanted to roost on the side of her box - so I put a bar on it for a...

    Needing advice and ideas on my hen!

    Hello! I am jumping back in for an update. Rainbow is still with us, but still not walking except on her knees. Her legs seem to almost go over the other and sometimes she falls forward and picks her self up. She is still eating, and goes through phases where I think she is not eating much...

    I'll watch a video! We chose an organic layer feed from Murdoch's. It's called Eden feed. 17% protein mash, soy free, but not corn free.

    Yes - a hormonal Cockerel then. 😘 Maybe I'll let the ladies out too tomorrow and keep Bubbles the Cockerel in (my 2 year old daughter named him).

    Needing advice and ideas on my hen!

    Her eyes seem the same. She seems to be eating and drinking pretty well - it's warm here - so I think some daytime reduction would be normal. She does have access to grit and I recently started offered oyster shells, but only a few days ago - as she was our first layer and has only been...

    Here is Rainbow - the egg she laid last night 😔, and her poo. I will pick up some calcium citrate to give that a go!

    My beautiful and sweet sapphire gem hen - who is 18 weeks old, has been loosing function in her legs. It started with one foot and has moved to the other. She was walking on her toes when it was just one. She is eating and drinking fine. Her poops are normal. She is the first in our flock to...
