    Large BR Pullet about to be 36 weeks and hasn't laid!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an informative response. I have heard of hens taking on male characteristics with the lack of a rooster. She was briefly exposed to a rooster when one of my "pullets" turned out to be male. He was with them for a week after he began to crow and...

    Lump on chest of chick?

    I remember my first crop scare! It's definitely the crop and completely normal. If the chick is carrying on like normal, eating and drinking, I wouldn't be worried at all.

    thank you 🥰 I wish that were the case, but she doesn't free-range. She does have a very large enclosure, but I clean it out once a week and haven't discovered any rogue eggs yet.

    It would be super interesting! Well, whatever she's all mixed up with she's a great bird. Despite being unfulfilling in her intended function, she gives back tenfold in a lot of sweet companionship ♡

    I wish I could give a definite answer to that! When I went in to Rural King it was with the intention to walk out with a few Olive Eggers. The employee helping me was young and the bins were mixed and I believe he grabbed 2 olive eggers and 1 of whatever the other of 3 varieties was mixed in the...

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to these comments. Alma is a big girl and I am very confident now that she is indeed female. When I first started this thread I wasn't even questioning her gender but rather worried something was wrong that could possibly harm her. I can see how...

    Thank you! I've said she was special since she was a chick ♡ She is very loving and the calmest chicken. Loves being held and softly peeps to me when I rock her 🥰
