Now it’s a little older! Looks like a hen to me? Tail feathers are throwing me off though, but maybe a breed thing. Crest is a lot fuller! This chicken is pretty cool looking either way :)
This chick was in a bin mixed with assorted polish bantams and assorted silkies. I wanted a polish, this one looked like it had a crest, but a lot of people are saying no not polish, silkie... which it looks nothing like my silkie chick or the other silkie chicks that were in there. Plus, it’s...
hi there, I'm moving across town here shortly and we've been pondering ways to move my 4x8x6-7ft very sturdy wood chicken coop my dad and I built. It's up on cinder blocks, and I had planned on maybe keeping it on cement pavers once I get it to the new place, on the ground. I have a flatbed...

This is Tyson Chicken, he's a 4 month old DUccle Roo, my only roo out of my flock of 7.
