Hi All,
Looking for some feedback with how to go about sexing Vorwerk. Mine are roughly 2weeks old. I know you can’t sex 100% at this age but what should I be looking for as they get older?
Are vorwerks unique with markings or anything that would indicate sex early on?
Pictures attached of...

Hi all,
Need some help with the breed of this hen.
Given to me alongside 2 australorps. Questioning it due to it being much taller, and it’s white earlobes.
My guesses were either Leghorn, or Minorca
Thank you all in advance.

Hi all,
Do you think the following chicken is a Pullet or Cockerel?
It is a mottled Pekin x duccle.
10-12 weeks old
Really hoping it’s a girl as it’s so cute!!
What is the difference between the two? I’m concerned now that you think I’ve been sold a different breed of bird. I don’t mind miss colouring’s but I wanted them to be duccles. Hmmm...
Thank you for that. As for the colouring I’m not concerned about whether they meet the ‘standard’, just going to be some backyard featherbabies :). If that’s what you meant of course.
Hi all,
Can anyone assist in sexing these two Mille Fluer Belgian Duccles. They are 13 weeks old, and were sold to me a week ago as Pullets.

Hi All,
I've just purchased this "Polish" hen at my local auction. I have only noticed now that it has 5 toes on one foot, and 4 on the other. Is it crossed with a 5 toed breed or a genetic defect? In some ways it wouldn't surprise me if it was crossed with a silkie but maybe not.
Note: In the...
Hi all,
