We have 2 Plymouth barred rock chickens. One has more white but looks and acts more like a pullet. The other one has double the wattle size, bigger and redder comb/wattle. Personality has always been more dominant, not afraid to wonder alone or be pet. It’s bigger than two blue andalusians that...
She lost some feathers when we combined with our original chickens so I’m not sure if they are just falling funny because of that.
Very submissive but taller than all my chickens, leghorns, road island reds, New Hampshire reds. Not a large comb either.
we bought 2 of them hatched the same day, one looks more like a sapphire gem but this one is much bigger and has always been more protective especially of the other chick. The other doesn’t have a comb at all and this one has since it hatched starting to turn red. It has tons of feathers. Bigger...
We have adult hens that are laying but we added 3 pullets awhile back. They are a little over 14 weeks. High egg producers. Australorp and New Hampshire reds.
Could this possibly be from one of them? If not is something wrong with our hens? I haven’t seen an “egg” that small for years
I woke up today and realized it’s comb is More red today than yesterday. 3 weeks old. I thought this one was a pullet and our other Plymouth a cockerel. The other one just has a decent sized comb and possibly more white than black on it’s barring.
My leghorn has a purple and elongated wattle on one side and partial on the end of her comb. We adopted them as adults idk how old she is. She has been laying but not so much recently. We’ve been fighting to conquer leg mites. No apparent sickness, I just noticed this on her today.
What is...
I have 14 day old blue Andalusian and 2 5ish day old Plymouth barred rock.
One from each breed has had a comb since we got them. I know I’ll have to wait to be sure but what do you think? Cockerel or hopefully a pullet?
first image is the blue Andalusians at a couple days old. Last 2 pictures...
We’ve had one that has always been bigger and darker but over the last couple days the smaller one has a bigger wattle. Could it be a cockerel? It’s sweet as can be! Feel free to judge the australorp too.
We rescued her years ago. Sweetest hen we’ve ever had and the smartest. She lived with no coop and no one feeding or giving her water for years. She would roost in a tree that had a pair of red tail hawks living in and hatching eggs every year.
We lost 4 8 week old chicks Last night. My 8 year old is going to be devastated. Does anyone sell those breeds around that age?
