    Pullet gasping/wheezing- HELP

    One of my 20 week old pullets (who has not laid yet) has started to constantly be in "pushing out an egg" pose and I'm worried that maybe she has a blockage or she can't fit an egg out through her teeny body. She doesn't seem lethargic and is eating/drinking fine, but it's bizarre to see her...

    Easter egger, male or female?

    My bantam easter egger is about 9.5 weeks old now and I was confident she was a pullet before, but her comb is looking pretty pink and wide. I know easter eggers are difficult, but let me know your thoughts on this one! Comb picture: Here's one where she's facing the camera.

    Suspicious silkie "pullet"

    Hello all, we recently purchased a partridge silkie pullet to add to our bantam flock and I'm starting to doubt whether "she" is not a he. The seller couldn't give an exact age, but I'd guess around 10-12 weeks. It's also not a very well bred silkie, as it has a straight comb as opposed to the...

    Polish sexing

    I have 2 5 week old white crested splash polish babies. They're supposed to be sexed pullets, but one is giving me suspicions... She's starting to get a slight pink tinge to her face and wattles. Her poof is still growing in so that might be why it's so spiky-looking, but her sister's looks more...

    Bantam cochin- male or female?

    We have an almost 4 week old bantam mottled cochin which was sold to us from Meyer as a pullet, but I'm doubtful. She has had veeery slow feather growth and still has odd patchy wings, and recently her comb has started to grow a bit. It's only pinkened slightly, but you can see the starts of...

    pullet traumatized after predator attack- how to help?

    unfortunately this morning a predator (likely a mink or weasel) got into the chicken run and killed 5 of our 6 chickens. we have one 4-5 month old pullet left who only suffered what appears to be two slight puncture wounds on her back (we've cleaned out the wounds and put an ointment on them, if...

    so we got the chick in question at tsc from a bin that was labeled "black sex link pullets", but the more she grows the more i think she's not a sex link, lol. she's now almost 2 weeks old, and she's huge, for one, considerably larger than our other two chicks (easter egger and cream legbar)...

    chick acting weird- neurological or just a little special?

    hello, just got 4 baby chicks yesterday from the local tsc to add to our existing small flock of 3 three year old hens. one of the chicks seems a little odd- she walks funny (like waddling) which may be because she seems a little, well, wide. but she also keeps trying to get underneath the other...
