    Broken Comb? Help?

    Vet wrap is a good idea. I would also look for a possible cause of the injury, you don't want this to happen again.

    Broken Comb? Help?

    This looks like an injury that may have happened during mating. You may want to try separating her from any roosters, and any birds that may pack at it for a few days. Maybe try wrapping it in a small peice of gause.

    What gender are these chickens?

    Yea the hackles are prominent on the Wyandotte.

    Roos or Hens?

    Yikes, that's tough. I'd wait to see some behavior signs before the DNA test though.

    What gender are these chickens?

    I'd say they're all female, keep an eye out for behavior to be sure though.

    Exposed screw tips

    In building my coop, the tips of some screws are exposed. Could this be a problem for the birds? If so (probably so) what can I put on the screws to make them less dangerous?

    Intermittent Broodiness?

    I'd be careful, you never know if they'll be half way done developing, and then your hen decides to stop being brudy. Also inconsistent temperature and humidity will not be good for the eggs.

    Help! Not sure of her breed!

    When did you get her?

    Help! Not sure of her breed!

    If you just ate her first egg, she's probably 6-7 months old.

    Dorkings or Icelandics?? Can't decide

    If I were you, would go with a dorking because of their temperment. Dorkings will be very friendly, I once had a very nice dorking that could spend all day with you. Also, icelandics can be very hard to get.
