    Are these Erminettes?

    I have two white chickens that I was told were erminettes when I got them at 4 weeks old. Clearly they don’t have the erminette markings but I didn’t notice any of the other so called erminettes having the splash colouring either. Wondering if that’s really what they are or if they’re just...

    I have a stubbornly broody leghorn

    My leghorn is slowly driving me round the bend. She is broody and I cannot seem to break it. She has now pulled all the feathers out under her. We don't own a cockerell and there are no eggs under her. She is moved out of the nesting box and locked away from it regularly. She has been given...

    I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them.

    Leghorn rooster or hen

    I got 10 leghorns from rural king I think the one circled is a rooster. If you had to guess how old are they. I got 6 black sex link and 6 whydot chicks that are 8 weeks old outside with the adult hens. They are very feathered out for how small they are is that normal for them.
