Do all pullets faces turn red?

[ackie]

I wanted to ask this the other day btw so thank you for making a thread for me hahah. I've always heard about combs and waddles, but my girls have red faces too haha.

I typed wattle then changed it to waddle & I was right the first time.

Everyone who is laying in my flock have really red faces. And they changed rather quickly. You can see one of them in the last pic. But the three big ones all have black legs and darker skin it seems like

Yes. This is what I was wondering I guess. Do all breeds go red in the face?!

Most breeds, but not all.

Not Silkies, not Ayam Cemanis, not Sumatras (some of those kinds stay black in the face, some get purple instead.)

Pure Ameraucanas should get red faces when they lay, but if they are any kind of a cross it would depend on the other half of the cross.

Lol, very good! Waddle is the way a duck walks. Or me, if I am trying to go really fast.

I can’t actually get my hands on these guys unless they’re sleeping, but I may try and check them out.

That's the only time I examine birds, off the roost after dark wearing a headlight.

Meeee neither.
I'm debating investigating mines hoohahs tonight, maybe. I'm more interested in knowing if any of my loose (no pun intended!) birds are laying rather than the ones in the coop
