Thanks y’all! Little man is looking somewhat better. Swelling immediately went down drastically within minutes of removing it.
The wound was still strange after removing it. I explored it carefully to make sure that nothing was left. In the bottom and along the sides, it was unbroken skin with...
This guy is a Cochin bantam roo about 8-10 months old. He lives in a mixed flock and it fed layer crumbles due to living with layers. This popped up within this week. It is very hard, not hot, and seems to cause minimal pain. I used a needle to try to find a way to pop it and it is firm as can...
Alright, so I was certain this little one was a cockerel because of the comb since it was about 8 weeks old. It is now 6 months and I am really doubting myself. The saddle feathers almost look rounded like a pullet to me. The hackles look like cockerel feathers to me. All of my other cockerels...
For silkies, I’m still awful at guessing but I tend to go off of body shape more than comb color. You may want to take a picture of them standing naturally.
Hi guys,
These three came from the dreaded assorted bantam bin. My boyfriend picked them up because the second chick looked similar to our Pyncheon chicks. He nailed the coloring but these guys are lacking the poof/crest. I don’t think they’re pyncheon. What could they be?
The third chick is...
Thank you! Actually makes me exceedingly happy. We originally thought pullet, so we’ve been searching for a cockerel in our area with absolutely no luck. This little one will do awesome with our pullets.
Is this a fella or a lady? I was assuming it was a boy. However, it has not interest in breeding to anything. It’s constantly chased by our other roo but doesn’t submit to breed when it’s hopped on. There’s no crow and no egg. If I need better pics, please let me know.
How cute!! I’m unsure on exact breed. Since y’all stumbled upon them, they could possibly be mixed. The chick with feathers on the legs is for sure not pure OEGB.
Hi,
This little birdie is coming up on 4 months old. I was fairly certain on gender until a few weeks ago. Now, I am doubting myself because of new coloring popping up and the feathers. I can’t tell if they truly have a pointy end or if they’re just slicked. Help please
They’re supposed to be willow green. Most breeders I have talked to have struggled to get that color due to so few birds being available to breed. My three have the super pale legs that are common in the few birds that are out there.
