HiNeed some help i recently purchased these beautiful feathered toot batman was just wondering if she a hen or rooster she might be 2 months old. I also had a couple of questions in regards to leaving her/ him with baby chicks its other siblings died my husky puppy eat them she or he was the only survival my husband and I decided to purchase more baby chicks so it wouldn't be alone now that we have them 2 of my baby chicks have died there butts were plucked I'm guessing they were bullied I'm guessing because of there differences in there tone color I'm guessing they were races all my baby yellow orange chicks are doing great but my gray baby chicks have died still have one left but it's barely moving it's still peeping I been feeding it. has its eyes closed. God willing it makes it. Was thinking in buying more gray ones if this one make it. Any advice would be appreciated.
For better results i suggest you start your own thread...but, i'll give you some info.
First off sorry about your losses
That chicken is pretty big..... too old for a heat lamp, and chick starter... although shes doing well with the baby chicks....i would strongly suggest you get some more chickens around her age, outside....is where she needs to be....away from the heat lamp and where she can interact with chickens her age....no matter how cute she is with the baby chicks...it will do her good.
You seem to be loosing alot of your new chicks...and i think the big chicken has something to do with that, either its passing on some kind of illness to the baby chicks or its hurting them in some way...either that or your chicks have something wrong...hoping they all live
As per gender, we need some photos in natural sunlight, 2 of the photos suggest Pullet, but the one with the heat lamp suggest cockerel...so full body pics in natural sunlight, please.
Best of luck
