I have some Isa Browns from Townline Hatchery. I thought they were all pullets and I thought they were sex links in which the females were brown and the males white but now I am having doubts. I have a couple that are feathering in slower and their feathers are a deep red and white. Their...
I have a 1 year old White Laced Red Cornish Bantam The past few days she has been lethargic and I haven't seen her lay eggs for a while. She is also very fat. Are bantam Cornish susceptible to the heart problems and others things like meat birds?
I got this chick in a bantam assortment. It is probably an OEGB but not 100% sure.
What is this color? Also pullet or cockerel? It has really long legs like a cockerel
but its comb is not as developed as much as the cockerels I have.
It is almost 6 weeks old.

I have 7 Bantam Blue Wyandottes. There are 3 blue and 4 splash. I think they are ALL cockerels! 4 weeks old.
In the first pic I made a noise to get their attention.
Here are comb and wattle pics of Splash #1 and Splash #2.
Splash #3 and Splash #4
Blue #1 and Blue #2 and Blue #3
These are Bantam Easter Eggers from Ideal.
The comb of the orange one. The obvious Rooster.
The comb of the questionable one.
Can a rooster have the feather coloring of the second one?
I know you have to feather sex right away when they are 1-3 days old. I know the pullets have uneven rows of feathers on their wings and the cockerels are even. My question is: What about when you see an even row of feathers but if you really look also really tiny row of feathers just starting...
Their bodies look grey. Their backs are black and white, they have a large brown spot on the top of their heads outlined in black, and their faces have black squiggles. They have single combs and slate legs.
One of my pullets has laid these strange eggs. They are hard on one side and soft on the other.
The one on the bottom was laid last week. The two on top I found in the nesting box today.
I have never had a chicken lay 2 eggs in one day but it is obvious these came from the same chicken.

I have a 17 week old Welsummer pullet that recently started crowing. Yes she is definitely a she. I don't think she is the top pullet in the pen. Her comb is small but red and she has red wattles. I think she is getting ready to start laying. Her crow sounds like a rooster crow but not...
I have a 13 week old Isa Brown and she has squatted a couple of times. Her comb is larger and redder than some other breeds I have that are 16 weeks old but her body size is smaller. I don't want her to start laying too soon. Do you think this is normal or will she start laying too soon?
This is her normal stance.
Beautiful shiny black feathers.
Head on shot.
Stats:
Bantam (slightly larger than average bantam)
Black single comb
Black ears
Black legs
Black beak
15 weeks old
What breed is she?
He is about 6 weeks old. His head is blue/grey , his chest buff with white and wing feathers are red/brown with white.
I think he is a cockerel but don't know the breed or color.
I ordered some Gold Sex Links. They are 6 weeks old now. One of them is a darker red and is feathering out a little differently.
I would like to know what it is. I think the choices are between Red Sex Link, Production Red and Gold Sex Link.
Tell me what YOU think.
The one on the right...
I have a Bantam Buttercup and a Bantam Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. They are both 3 1/2 weeks old.
I've heard Buttercups can be sexed by their color. Both of these are feathering in slowly. I have another
Bantam Wyandotte that I think is a girl and she has a lot more feathers.
I need your best...
This chick is a bantam. At a few days old it was light yellow with 2 black spots on its head.
Now it is 3 weeks old and it is getting black spots on white feathers.
It is a larger bantam with long tail feathers.
Although its comb is still small it is suspected to be a roo.

I have a bunch of sexed Cuckoo Maran pullets and this one is feathering out differently than the others.
It is very hen like in its behavior, not high ranking or low ranking. Its comb is like all the others.
They are 2 weeks old. Is this cockerel feathering, another breed, or just strange?
If...
