Have you noticed that you can tell who's laying because their vents are huge

I looked at Nori's after she started and was like YIKES!

I will take a peek at their vents tomorrow and see who is laying. I am thinking it's Dumpling. Bonney is supposed to be around six months old. I am pretty sure Dumpling is the older of the two.

What color are your chicks?
I have a splash pullet, 7 or 8 months old now, I was sure she was a boy when they were 4 or 5 months old. She developed dark purple wattles and the comb was looking mulberry color. Well, it still turned out to be a girl.

Can you post us pictures?

Pretty sure I have a buff, splash, a blue & 2 dark blue? I think the buff, splash & the runt (drk blue) are roos..

HOPE- my runt. just now coming into her/his feathers! Today she was chest bumping my suspect roos... Check out her mohawk! Is she dark blue?




CHARLIE- I think Charlie is a girl... totally mellow & soft.. (light blue)? No wattles no red/pink comb





GRACIE MAY will soon become GEORGE soon (if I'm right!) 6 toes, wattles...Splash??





PEEP- Buff? I have always thought Peep was a roo, even though the breeder thought it was a girl... we shall see- comb & wattles. Has always been the biggest. Hatched 1st week of January.




BENINA- I just love Benina- my 3 year old named her She's really not that smart Is she a light blue?




What do you guys think??

Looks like a boy to meCHARLIE- I think Charlie is a girl... totally mellow & soft.. (light blue)? No wattles no red/pink comb





Most likely boy, but you won't want to breed this one with 6 toes, unless the rules are different for sizzles?GRACIE MAY will soon become GEORGE soon (if I'm right!) 6 toes, wattles...Splash??





Could be a girl, but comb is pretty bright. So i'll say boy too. Is it's beak straight? The picture makes it look crooked.PEEP- Buff? I have always thought Peep was a roo, even though the breeder thought it was a girl... we shall see- comb & wattles. Has always been the biggest. Hatched 1st week of January.




Need to see the front of the face, can't really tell.BENINA- I just love Benina- my 3 year old named her She's really not that smart Is she a light blue?

So..one of the chicks (they're 3 weeks now) has taken to walking in circles sometimes. It's like it can't stop itself, and it takes a while for it to walk in a straight line again. I'm thinking that this is a neurological thing, do you guys think is is correctable with vitamins?

Yay! Happy news! A girlie blue is great news.

After such an awful day, I went out to the barn tonight dragging my feet to turn off the lights and say goodnight to everybody. Surprise! One of my Catdance girls, (Bonney or Dumpling) laid their first egg! I needed some happy Silkie news and can find it here on this thread tonight!

Catching up on all the pretty pictures posted the last few days. Wow!

Aren't those sweethearts supportive?!! Big hugs to you Mumsy !
