    Too-la-ROO-la-ree?

    I've had chickens for almost a decade now but have always ordered strictly pullets direct from the hatchery & have been lucky enough that the sexers got it right 100% of the time. I ordered Easter Egger pullets for the first time & the hatchery did advise me that their sexing for them is only...

    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...

    Saddle Feathers?

    Slow growing, 5 months old, comb has reddened. Very docile, doesn't crow but isn't squatting either. Thought for sure my Sussex was a pullet, but the growing feathers have me a bit paranoid about her being a cockerel. Are these saddle feathers? I'm not great at defining saddle feathers, even...

    What breed/s and gender are these two?

    Hi all Recently we got a couple of chicks from a hatching program run out of my son's kindergarten. We have had them for about 2 months now and they are starting to get a bit bigger.

    Losing Saddle Feathers

    I just (About 1 month ago) rescued 3 adult chickens (1 RIR, 2 EE) and I will be getting chicks in April. One of my EE is missing a palm sized patch of feathers in her saddle area. I have not seen any of the other chickens pecking her there but I have seen the rir HEN mount her once. (Is this...
