They are more mellow in general....looking at the group you have listed, watch them when you feed to see that she comes to eat and no-one tries to bully or hog her out. They can be easily intimidated when not the dominant group. elizMy Amy, is a hatchery SF. She is about 9/10 weeks When the other gals are running around the garden, many times she will just sit in a corner and watch them. Is this a common trait with SF? She seems sooo mellow compared to the rest.
THANK YOU for the info.They are more mellow in general....looking at the group you have listed, watch them when you feed to see that she comes to eat and no-one tries to bully or hog her out. They can be easily intimidated when not the dominant group. eliz
Have you spoken about this to the person you received them from????? Often if you had specifically mentioned wanting girls and the breeder picked them out, maybe they would be willing to make some adjustment.....sickness is a hard thing to define....I think the weird weather up & down we are having is taking a toll on some birds...Im having to work harder keeping area's cleaner and dryer....often disinfecting when & where i normally wouldn't have to. elizSo you think the chick is a roo in the making??????? NOOOOOOOOO! I have another one just like it and possibly a third! This is unbelievable. The breeder sold me 5 SF's 4 pullets and one roo. It's all in another thread of mine but the chick in the pic started sneezing a few hours after I picked them up and everyone of them has been ill. One died and one is still touch and go and now I find out he also probably sexed them wrong?! I can't believe this.
Just about 100% of pullets will have black in their wings. Which is why I won't call them male or female 100% until their shoulder feathers start to come in. BUT even then, I have a very light colored male that I swore was a pullet until almost 8 weeks, when the black feathers started coming in. Now at 12 weeks, HE looks much more "normal" for a cockerel. I can't wait to see how he finishes out.bird-brain. I think you do have boys, yes. Maybe the breeder can take them back?
I am never never going to take another fav pullet with black on their wings...ugh.
I am so sorry they got sicks!
