    Sold as Welsummers but look different...

    So I got both these girls from a lady who buys from Meyer Hatchery. Don't know if they are good or bad - just giving info. They had the same hatch day (3/6/2013). They look so different. Especially the size of comb but also the feathering. Are they the same breed?

I have had saddles on them for almost three weeks and the feathers were growing back in great under there. Once in a while when...

    A question on wing clipping

    Almost 12 weeks old but no color in combs...

    Actually, they barely have any combs to speak off. The white leghorns have the most but only about a quarter of an inch at the tallest. I have 2 of each of the following: BO, BA, BR, RIR & White Leghorn. They all are still pink rather than getting red on their combs. They do have a bit of red on...

    Two questions (possibly silly)

    I was just wondering first, when my girls might lose their peeps and gain their clucks. Second, is it normal for a few feathers to fall out as they are feathering? My girls are 7 weeks old.
