They all say thanx we all hope these stay green. Cross fingersTheir stunning. I've had a chick with cream color eyes. But they turned red.
Yes. Any female chickens under a year old are called pullets. I don't know what other uses it has in different contexts, but you're good, because it is the correct term in an appropriate setting.no signs of being a roo yet so I'm hoping she's a pullet. Am I supposed to say they are a pullet?
Thanks I'm pretty sure there is another cockerel, one with a black head.. don't think he made these shots tho. This one standing up was attacked by another mamma hen when he was a few days old. Had a broken leg, broken toe, and no skin on his back. Poor baby. I couldn't cull as he was such a fighter. I made a splint with plastic tubing and strips of rubber from a balloon. He was able to have the contraption removed 4 days later and his recovery has been remarkable. At one point I thought he was going to have a big bare patch on his back as the skin grew back with no feathers, and a bit scarred. I'm so pleased that he has the brightest of copper feathers now emerging and he is really going to be a perfect chicken. I'm so proud of himYes.

The only cockerel (male chicken under a year old) I see in the pictures provided is in this picture. It's the one standing up. The rest look like pullets.
