@pibb @aart got a butt nugget today from her! definitely a pullet lol

not much of a confirmation, but they’ll be 17 weeks tomorrow and pip & mimzy ( pictured ) were really interested in the nesting boxes this morning. they both got out a little after, but it could’ve been because i walked in. i don’t know, but it’s something

yeah, i will. if she poops out an egg ( or starts crowing ), i’ll let y’all know.

oh, good, i got real worried all over again haha

this is what her hackle feathers look like

that was only the 3rd time i tried feeding her by hand and none of the others were around when she did it. the first time she was fine and didn’t puff up; the other 3 were with her that time. idk, it really caught me off guard when she did it. the others don’t do it and the big chickens never...

I think mimzy is a she, it didn’t look like her hackle feathers are pointed. as for dealing with her behavior/attitude, ive seen varying opinions on the technique you suggested. do you think it’s the best way to nip this in the bud? it won’t make her mean or more aggressive? or do you really...

i was able to get ahold of mimzy, so i took a picture of her hackle feathers. to me, they don’t look pointed but I’m also not a chicken expert. hopefully im right and she’s, well, a she. as for behavior, i hope it’s mostly her being scared or a little testy. either way, i’ll definitely try to...

I really hope not. the cockerels i did have were already crowing by this time, so hopefully that’s a good sign. I’d be mad if mimzy turns to be a boy, because i paid specifically for pullets. anyways, I’ll have to get ahold of her to look at her hackle feathers. I’m at work now, so I’ll keep you...

i hope not, all the leghorn cockerels i used to have were mean. they’re all officially 14 weeks old today and when the cockerels were this age, they already have pretty developed combs and wattles. but, no, it started getting redder not that long ago. here’s some more pictures of her(?):

they are in with 25 week old chickens, so they stick in their own little group of other leghorn pullets ( 3 others; same age ) for the most part. She’s definitely not at the top within the entire flock, but I’m not sure about among the little subgroup. I think she is, though.

One of my 13 ( almost 14 ) week old leghorn pullet, Mimzy, puffs up at me when I put my hand out in front of her to give her a treat. She’ll flair up & then take the treat very quickly. I’ve never had any of my girls do that — only my leghorn roos — and i was wondering if it was mostly because...
