    Is this Fowl Pox?

    Is this fowl pox? I found these white lesions on my hens comb and around her eye. Other posts and pictures I’ve seen they are dark scabs so I’m not sure what she has going on. Edited to add: she has been giving me 3-4 eggs a week and I notice very ones egg production drop because of the...

    Welsummer and Golden Laced Wyandotte - sex?

    Hello, new here and came in search of some information with our new flock. I have a welsummer and golden laced Wyandotte that are supposed to be pullets from a hatchery. Are these pullets or do I have cockerels? They are 7 weeks old. (The welsummer looks a little rough as she/he is the low man...
