Dispatch that snake! We saw a fairly large snake skin the other day and it’s left me on edge. I think this is the same one that stole our about to hatch under a broody eggs.
I think so! The feathers are definitely female patterned for the welsummer. I know the redness and large combs freaked me out when my 13 week olds were growing up around 4-5 but it slowed down, except for my true cockerels.
I think your chipmunk EE is a cockerel, even my EE cockerel didn’t have that big of a comb at that age. I don’t know about any of the Orps though. BR are definitely girls, and the white EE may be as well.
