    Dark Barred Plymouth Rocks 2 Days old Sex?

    At first I thought I had 2x girls because my research showed a defined area on the head for the girls. What do I get? Two chicks with a very definite tiny spot on each. Then, I saw the legs! The first one was really light plus it has a blurred white section on it's rump. A boy? The 2nd one had...

    Hermaphrodite and Broody, egg laying Pullet?!

    Sexing 16.5 wk old Barnevelders. Help! ..... Soooo difficult! :-/

    Hi, everyone! Sexing these Barnevelders are so difficult!! From my research, I think the smallest one is a male as he doesn't have any double lacing whilst the other three, I think, are girls. A friend of mine thinks that I have two boys and two girls so I don't know! One thing that is...

    Splash variations: which is the right variety terminology?

    Hi, everyone! I have a couple of Splash Australorps who have a different base colour. One is White with dark splashes. The other has a Blue base with dark Splashes.

    Any breeders out there of WC Blue Cuckoo or Silver Barred Polish? Not pet quality.

    Hi, everyone! I just had some bad news about my White Crested Dark Barred Frizzle Polish Cockeral. The past two weeks, he's been keeping company with a mature Speckled Sussex hen as I didn't have any other hens for him. Plus he was slightly aggressive (over amorous!) with a younger...

    Hi, Everyone! I've a Marans/Sussex-X Hen, "Duchess", who was returned to me with a really bad case of Bumble Foot. They said, "We weren't sure whether to take her to the vet or not." They said that she had been that way for a few weeks and had continually been getting worse. The poison had...

    A) The short life of Peeps, the gutsy 4 day old WC Polish chick. & B) a drunken X-boyfriend kills 2

    My brooder had busted and there were no broody hens available this time so as soon as she was born "Peeps" has only known me and my dogs. I was finding it very difficult to get certain things done as she and I had bonded and she didn't like me leaving her alone. Unfortunately, the other eggs...

    Silkie's 5th toe growing out in V-shape from 4th toe about 1/3 of the way up. Good or bad?

    Hi, Everyone! I have a lovely W/C Frizzle Black Polish pullet (21 wks old), Frizzie, who is very friendly but has the annoying habit of pecking the treats from my hand very hard. I've had her since she was 12 wks old. At times, she pecks so hard, she accidentally, nips my skin. It isn't that...

    Can anyone give me their opinion about the sex of my 14wk old Barred Plymouth Rocks, please?

    Hi, everyone! I live in the Adelaide suburbs of South Australia, and, unfortunately, can't keep any Roosters. Silly me! I posted this in the wrong section as I couldn't work out at first (on the 18th) how to post a thread! Sheesh! I'm completely confused by what's out there as a guideline...
