Hi Everyone,
I have a polish frizzle who over the last month has been losing feathers in random places, but in some locations keeping the feather shaft, I’ve looked and treated for mites etc but nothing. Any idea what’s going on and how I h can help her?
Hello Everyone,
It’s that time again to play everyone’s favourite game..Hen or Roo??? These three are 9 weeks old and a bit of a barn mix so I am struggling to figure it out. A few weeks ago I was leaning towards all them being cockerels but now I’m not sure as I see no hackle or saddle...
Hi everyone,
I have a 3 year old Leghorn who has developed a growth underneath her vent. She’s been quite poppy in her vent area lately so we’ve been cleaning her often but today one I cleaned her I noticed this whitish hard growth and I’m not sure what it is or what to do about it?? She’s...
That sounds amazing and is really encouraging given our number of Roos keeps climbing 🤣 and I’m such a softy for them if they are cute and good natured. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed everyone keeps getting along and we can just enjoy them all :)
lol oh man, chicken personalities and managing flocks is always an adventure. Thanks for this gives me some ideas to think on as my boys really want to keep the 3 Roos
It was very cute. All three are so adorable. We can have roosters no problem, actually the coop they are in is quickly turning into a rooster coop as it’s got more Roos than hens right now, as the young ones are maturing and we are figuring out sexes. They are in with some bantam chickens, 3...
Thank you. I agree and I actually just witnessed the partridge roo crowing so it’s a roo for sure. Haven’t heard anything from the other two but their combs and streamers definitely have me leaning towards Roos
Thank you. Yes there does seem to be streamers on all 3. Deep down that’s the feeling I have two. That all three are boys, wishful thinking the partridge may be a girl due to the smaller comb..lol.
Hi everyone
Here are some updated pictures of the silkies from my early December post. The birds are 16-19 weeks old. The partridge (black and bronze) I have no idea (first two photos) but wondering if maybe it’s a pullet, the white and black splash (3rd and fourth picture) I am not sure but...
Hi everyone
Here are some updated pictures of the silkies. The white and black splash (3rd picture of comb only) I am not sure but leaning roo, partridge I have no idea (first two photos) and the white and partridge splash I’m thinking roo also as it has a wavy redish comb coming in. Thoughts...
Okay will do. So far on the polish I see no combs or waddles on the ones posted, unlike the one below, who was from the same hatch. I’m sure he is a Roo
Hi everyone,
I have a few buff laces frizzle polish (2) and golden laces frizzle polish (2) and few silkies (3) all around 10-13 weeks old and I’m wondering if they are pullets or Roos. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
