This is Abby. She is to good to hang out with the other chicks and likes to squeeze out of brooder top, peck at the dogs run around the house and then she jumps up computer desk chair and goes from there to my shoulder. It's funny but she has a new fascination with biting my ears...

Hi everyone,
We have a GLW that we got from a feed store last Friday. She had come from a hatchery the day before. We noticed that her unmbilicus was still attached, so with advice from a member here, we were cleaning it and putting coconut oil on it a few (2-3) times a day. She has good energy, acting and eating/drinking like everyone else. She just looks disheveled. Her umbilicus is shrinking/shriveling, she just looks light in feathers on her butt. the white parts near her vent are not really there, it was a glare in the picture. Does anyone have advice on anything else I should be doing for her, or is it just a matter of time?

Hi again,
Is there an effective way to sex Wyandottes? We have three, are supposed to be pullets.. but are curious if there is a way to know before months have passed:

The pointed feather trick worked for me. I believe the post is back a page or two on this thread.

Stellar the featherless wonder roo. Well hopefully a roo lol. He (being hopeful) does have pointed feathers coming in but only 5 and 1/2 weeks so we'll see!

Look he has feathers!
