I've noticed this kind of bulge beside the eyes of two of my chickens. It is even on both sides. It's hard to tell if my other chickens have the same bulge because they're all crested and bearded.
Their behaviour is normal, they're eating and drinking fine and quite energetic, and I haven't...
Pretty confident she's a he, only because she started crowing even more. Still looks basically the same other than the comb getting slightly bigger, and still no wattles though
Here's a video of the crow (hope the link works) It still sounds quite pathetic at the moment XD
Yes she's got quite a lot of shiny green tail feathers but they don't look particularly pointy and this is the first time I've had a Silkie so I wasn't sure if that's a general thing or not
Interesting, I didn't know that about the bearding gene but that would explain why my bearded Polish doesn't have wattles compared to my beardless one too
I have a 15 week old Silkie (Jaxxie) whose sex I'm having trouble determining. I had a Sebright rooster (Meiko) that would try to court Jaxxie, and they would hang out with each other the most so I figured Jaxxie was Meiko's favourite girl because they got along really well and were always...
The legs are yellow on the back, I ordered them from MyPetChicken as a Barred Rock, but if they end up being a Cuckoo Marans that's cool too, my husband just liked the barred pattern so we ordered them for the pattern more than anything 😂 I just hope whatever breed they are they're female so we...
I have a 3 week old Barred Rock chick whose sex has been hard for me to determine. They were sexed female when I ordered them but they hard a large head spot which lead me to believe they might be male, but now at 3 weeks old I'm wondering if it is indeed a female due to other identifiers, but...
Apparently males have wilder hair than females and females are more round. And of course when they're older the saddle and neck feathers are a lot pointier too like most roosters.
I made this post asking for sexing tips as I'm new to Polishes myself, so I apologize if you thought I had the...
This is Izalith, my 7 week old golden laced Polish, and she is the goodest snuggliest girl in my flock and likes to sit on my shoulder and nuzzle me with her crest ☺️
