    Hen’s comb changing from red to white rapidly

    I have a 6(ish) month old Australorp hen whose comb/wattles/ears keeps changing from healthy red to an extremely pale, almost white. This seems to happen mostly while she’s out and about, foraging in the yard. I first noticed this happening last weekend, and I thought it was frostbite so I...

    Help me with my SL Wyandottes + Weekly Development

    Hello! I’ve been fixated on whether or not my pair of SLWs are roosters since the beginning. To that end, I have weekly photos (missing weeks 3&4), which might be interesting/helpful, even if you can’t help me with sexing my birds. Note: They do have enormous red combs & wattles. I grant...

    Bantam Cochin: Hen or Roo?

    Hey there! Newbie here! I have a question about one of my 3 week old chicks! I bought him/her from an assorted Bantam bin at TSC, and I just love him/her! Definitely a Cochin Bantam, but I am 90% sure it’s a roo, due to how red it’s comb is already! What do you guys think?

    New Roo

    I just picked up my new boy a few days ago. I'm new to chickens, mostly I've done ducks in the past, so trying to place this guy to a breed has been a challenge; didn't know there were so many chicken breeds. I thought he might have been a rock since he's black and white speckled but when I...

    Squishy crop need help

    I have an 8 month old pullet who I noticed about 2 days ago has a very full crop. The first day I noticed it she had really bad breath but by the second day her breath doesn't smell at all. The day I noticed it she had been out foraging all over my property. As far as her behavior she acts...
