    Trying to work out if my new chickens are girls or actually boys.

    Hi all, I’m trying to work out if my chickens are pullets or cockerels? I think the two white ones are pullets from researching and the golden lace Wyandotte is a cockerel.

    What’s going on with my roosters comb ?

    I noticed a small crust spot starting on his comb a few months ago. It was the start of winter and due to the cold weather and my work schedule I decided to just keep my eye on it until the weather warmed up a bit, as I didn’t want to risk freezing his comb. The weather has started to warm up...

    Cross beak rooster

    I have a cross beak rooster that’s a little over 3 months old now. Aside from him being much smaller than the others he hatched with, he chirps like a baby chick still. I was just wondering if he’ll grow up to be a normal rooster (sitting on hens, crowing etc.)?

    We bought her from the store where we buy all of our chickens, ducks, turkeys. This time we thought they where just strange ducks… they where Chinese baby geese.
