    English Silver Laced Orpington- Roo?

    So I know it’s a bit early, Pika is approximately 9 weeks old and while I do not see rooish behaviors the comb and wattles are starting to worry me! This is the only orpington I have, so I have nothing to compare to. Thanks in advance for the guesses! Really hoping for a pullet, since I only...

    Thinking about culling a fair bit of my flock. I keep finding advice on HOW to cull a bird, but i never see if there are any tips to the setting them aside before the culling. I'm pretty sure that i won't treat them like crawfish before the boil; where they are set in running water to purge, but...
