Just curious about scaly leg mites. My two Sebrights have it quite badly, but none of my other chickens? I have quite a mix of 8 other birds.
Also, just curious about the sun. In the heat, the rest of my birds retreat to the shady part of the run. But not my sebrights. They spread right...
I would say boy. The attempting to crow isn’t much of an indicator because from what I have gathered, female Sebright chicks will attempt to crow as well! The comb and wattles are a dead giveaway though. Not sure what your situation is for roosters but he will not be a loud crower. There are...
