dont you have a camera ? Everyone wants to see fluffy butts !

You mean like these

They are getting some feathers.

Not the clearest shot of this one, but you can see it has feathers

Can anybody accurately sex by feathers?

I think the left is male and right is female, but I am not sure if I remember what I was taught years ago and correct and the person that taught me sadly passed away.

BADADA!!!

You knew I could not resist

Oh no, i have anxiety, that is bad enough.

leaving the farm takes a lot out of me. Days I have to leave I have to have somebody I trust with me so if I need I can use them to shield me. Bob, the husband, can read me so can the boys to an extent. Bob has more practice dealing with it and knows the signs of I need to get home and not people any longer.

adorable ! and yes, when the feathers first start. Think of how a hen needs good even heat to incubate eggs so her feathers will be all the same length across her wing. A roo doesnt need that and his wing feathers will be uneven.

So I was correct with the male on the left and the female on the right? The guy that taught me would say rounded wings Hen elongated wings Roo.

I got the workplace blues.

Saddened by how little American men can adult. I’ll share a tale later.

Spending money - gotta get my big Bertha truck a new battery. Hubs grumbled at that’s one I put my foot down and said no, this is what I drive when I need ground clearance we are not having the truck down too. (Especially since I got more rain in the forecast)

Stick to your guns Pro!

He wants to give me a heads up cause his mother caused trouble in the past. I write return to sender on her stuff.

That is very sad.

I guess he dont read back posts or he would know that already.

I don't read back but with a slight kick in the pants (eyes?) I can remember!

My understanding is that SOME breeds can be feather sexed but not many. Wishing would know better I think.
