    Pullets x 2?

    I’m getting better I think, learning so much on here! These two are approximately 9 weeks. If pullets can I add them to my run with the 6wk old pullets? The two red photos are same chick. The other two chicks in their group have already been ID’d as cockerels and are much bigger.

In the meantime, a hen who I was...

    Mottled black comb

    Good morning! My approximately 3 yr old rooster has a mottled, splotchy black comb. Otherwise he seems fine. It actually looked a little better earlier in the week but now is worse again. Is this something I need to be concerned about? His toes are also slightly pink where they attach to the foot
