    Normal comb?

    Hi, I live in Los Angeles (so no frostbite risk) and I noticed that one of my rhode island reds has some dark purple on her comb. The problem is that I don't know if she had this darkness before or not. I don't think so but not sure. She's eating and hanging out fairly normal. The only...

    Still molting?

    We got our first 5 hens last May. Last fall they had just started laying so they haven’t ever been through a molt until this year. I’ve read online that it can take a longer time for “spring chickens” to begin laying again after their very first molt - at this point it’s going on 3 months and...

    8-week old Ayam Cemani comb, normal? And what gender?

    Hi - I've noticed that some of my Ayam Cemani chicks have a gap in their comb. Fully black, oyster tongue, from good quality stock. There are no side sprigs. I haven't been able to find anything about this. Does anyone know what causes it? And is this 8-week old a pullet or a cockerel? Thanks!
