View attachment 1019168 Tulip and Cookie - for reference

Our 11 1/2 week old BO, has me confused. I noticed a little redder comb and the beginnings of wattles. The other 2 buffs have more flesh colored comb and no wattle. All are as sweet as can be and have the beginning of red faces. Could this mean cockerel for our Cinnamon girl?

She's just maturing, a rooster has a big red comb and wattles at that age.

not sure if i posted this here but i had another girl die, by dustbathing none the less, it was crazy, her name was Rosa, and i miss her in my flock, they are diminishing and my plans are to get more hens next year around this time unless life changes that

otherwise all the others are fine and so far this summer i've had to save them from 3 snakes. i'm wary everytime i go in to the run, apparently the snakes here are skinny and fit through the chicken wire.

here is one of my girls trying to keep cool with water

Yay! And thank goodness!! We love our buffs
Good info to know for the future. Our only confirmed cockerel (speckled sussex) has exactly that.. big red comb and wattles and he is 10 1/2 weeks.

So i have a question. My buff sometimes pants when she is falling asleep. Is that normal?

It's 92 degrees in the coop, my buffs are panting, is this ok??? And if not what do I do about it?
