    Pullet or cockerel?

    Good to hear...she was just so much more pink in the face than the Rhode Island pullet I have, who is weeks older than her...and that was first sign in the barred rock cockerel, so I was worried...then I did research and saw that males had three rows in their pea combs, and she has three rows...

    Help me I have a 4 week old chick with a saw eye :(

    It does look much less irritated...she likely has gotten out whatever was in her eye that was causing the inflammation. That is also probably why she was trying to get at the eye herself. You might still want to anticipate doing a gentle irrigation of the eye though, but for now I'd just keep...

    Help me I have a 4 week old chick with a saw eye :(

    See if you can pick up some sterile 0.9% sodium chloride 10 ml flush syringes from a medical supply store, and use them to gently irrigate and remove any debris out of the eye of the chicken...there doesn't look to me to be any discharge from the eye, so it doesn't appear infected, but it does...

    Pullet or cockerel?

    Y'all were right the first time...my barred rock pullet was a cockerel, so I thought I'd ask about the younger light brahma pullet I bought, who has been getting very pink in the face and it is concerning. I absolutely can't have two roos and one hen in a small coop. What do you think; pullet...

    Month old barred rock pullet...or maybe not?

    It would be a good idea, but I'm trying to get the Jack to learn to respect and tolerate small animals, not kill and eat them; with her sense of smell, she would probably know it was him...that would be counterproductive to her current training. She loves on him and gives him kisses all the...

    Month old barred rock pullet...or maybe not?

    My mother has a Jack Russell puppy who rolls around in the lawn and the chicks jump on her and peck her feet. They've pretty much grown up together.

    Month old barred rock pullet...or maybe not?

    Well shoot...as always I have the worst luck ever. I don't at all want a rooster.

    Month old barred rock pullet...or maybe not?

    So I have this barred rock chick, sold as a pullet...but at a month old it sure has a big pink comb. What do y'all think? Is it a cockerel? Any help would be greatly appreciated...this is the first time I've ever raised chickens. A month in and I love it, but shoot I hope I don't end up with a...
