she absolutely won't stay still! I'll try tonight when she's roosting, but it looks like a single comb. it just now (at 9 weeks) has gotten slightly bigger, so I'm hoping the late appearance means she's a girl and not a roo.

oh i hope not! I'm in the city and can't have roos

looks like a pea comb so far

This is Duck, and she's 9 weeks old and being raised by one of my Easter Eggers. Feed store said she was a blue andalusian, but they also said my EE were cuckoo marans, so...any thoughts?

One of my hens is the happy mama of a 3 day old chick. She and the baby are in one of my nesting boxes in our coop (they have access to food and drink) but mama hasn't left the nesting box since the baby hatched on Friday. At some point should i move them, or trust that mama will get up and out...

However, she is extremely lethargic, her comb is pale, and she hasn't moved out of a dark corner of the run all day. I didn't feel an egg when I...

Hi, I recently added two 12 week Americaunas to my already tiny flock (one year old Barred Rock, one year old Rhodie) about a month after my dog killed our year old black sexlink. The babies and the bigs were quarantined for almost three weeks, then we started putting them into the coop...

Hi! I'm a mostly new-to-chickens person in the Pacific Northwest with a little urban homestead (4 chickens, a lot of vegetables, a tribe of cats/dogs/human kids). Despite coming from an agricultural family, since my parents were suburb-ites I am learning all of this from scratch.
