    New pullet dies, trying to figure out what may have caused it

    I wasn't going to post this but then the more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. I bought 2 new polish pullets from a large poultry sale as I had planned to introduce them to my polish cockerel after a quarantine period and then some. The owner was not there and someone else sold...

    Don't know if my pullets are large enough to add in with my rooster

    I have some beautiful Standard Partridge Cochin pullets that are 5 months old. They have an 18 month old Standard Partridge Cochin rooster waiting for them to be introduced to. He weighs 8 pounds and is very good natured. My only worries is that the pullets aren't big enough yet. They just...

    Sick Hen passing yolk/soft egg?

    I have a 16 month old golden comet that had a prolapsed oviduct (that went back in by itself) 3 weeks ago. I took her to the Vet the next week and they checked her over and said she was fine. Now she is passing what looks like a mixture of mostly yolk but no shell. I checked to see if any...

    Panting and egg laying

    I have a Polish hen (BBL) about a year old, who pants before and around the time she's going to lay her egg. She doesn't lay every day, mostly every 2-3 days and her eggs are fine. My other hens don't do this and I don't know whether I should be worried or not? Has anyone else had this occur...

    Gender question of Polish bird

    I am interested in buying a Buff Polish pullet/hen for my Buff Polish cockerel. This is the only picture I have of a bird that is for sale. The seller is not sure if it is a pullet. Is there anything that can be seen in this picture that is of help?

    Is this Buff Polish male or female?

    I know these aren't the best pictures but I was wondering if anyone could tell what sex this bird is? It is about 4 months old.

    Sick Rooster

    My only and favorite rooster is sick. He tries to crow but can't because he is challenged by some respiratory problem, began with gurgling sounds, like someone heavily congested (like he's having trouble breathing), and coughs/sneezes a little. I put the water soluble Terramycin in his water and...

    No clue to what she is

    I bought this pullet at a local poultry sale mainly because I felt sorry for her. She was almost being pecked to death. Does anyone have any suggestions on what she may be or partially be? She is supposedly 3 - 4 months old but is smaller than my red sex-link hens when they were pullets.
