lol that's what's kind of confusing me too. This is my first polish but I've not really see and red wattles or comb on any of the other polish hens I've researched. The way it stands and acts and the body feathering though don't see roo like to me.. I should just pluck a few feather and send...
Here's a couple full body shots from the other day I'm sad because we love petunia but it looks like petunia will be finding a new home.. and a new name.
Hey guys do think this is a pullet or roo. It's developing wattles and a couple red nubs above its beak at about 2 months old, but the crest is pretty round.
So excited I got my very first baby chick!! My hen went broody on a lone egg and I thought my roo wa too young to make babies but it hatched and its so cute!! She Is a silkie Buff Orpington mix. She's so cute I wanted to share pictures!! My hen is such a good momma!! I'm so glad she got those...
Hey guys my little polish baby is nearly 6 weeks. Today I notice little like skin tag looking nubs where a comb would normally be at. Would that imply that my baby is a rooster? Or is there a chance still that it may be a hen?
Hey guys. My broody hen has been sitting in her lone egg since the 18th. I'm guessing that my hatch day should be around the 9th. I've been reading up on the hatching proccess but most of it is about incubation not natural hatching. Just wondering since I'm getting a little close to hatch time...
These are the best pictures I could get tonight of my little Roos face. Yours looks nothing like mine and he's crowing everyday non stop. So I think it's safe to say she's a little girl!!
Looks like a pullet to me I'm no expert but my cockerel is about the same he and he has huge reddish wattles and a big fat nasty comb. I'll take some pictures later for you
I have a polish chick that's almost 5 weeks and she's (I'm hoping she) is nuts! I've got a welsummer with her and she's so calm and loving doesn't freak out when I hold her. The polish runs around like a crazy person when I even walk in the room
Lol not a silly question I guess I should have specified if it is fertile the roo is a black silkie and my hen is a buff Orpington so it'll be an interesting baby. If I take it and candle it will she take it back? My boss gave me a couple fertile eggs to stick under my broody hen that she wants...
