I think I know the answer to this but I just wanted to see if it was a no brainer, and needed to rehome immediately, or if it was worth waiting and seeing if it could possibly be a hen. Seven weeks. I have another that looks the same with just a slightly smaller lighter comb. But not much. If...
I got these straight run and took the chance because I wanted the dark eggs! Everyone else in the pen should be females. They are five weeks old. They were very dark as chicks but now have more comb than the other chicks of different breed. Hen or roo? Fingers crossed!
Woo-hoo!!! Glad to hear pullet!! Now, will it ever lay eggs? At 19 weeks she hasnt even come anywhere near a nesting box and is doing no squatting. I have a bantam wyandotte and a little silkie who are also showing zero interest in laying and they are both about six/seven months old. Do the...
