I have two tolbunt polish. These are my first ever polish. Any thoughts on gender would be appreciated!
#1 - Suspected Cockerel
#2 - Hopefully a Pullet
Thanks!
I have raised 3 wonderful roosters. One passed at 8 years, one passed at 2 years and one is 4 years old but lives in my dad's coop.
I have been trying to replace my wonderful rooster in my coop for 2 years. All from hatchling and every single one has turned into a giant jerk. I understand...
I got my firat Crèvecœur pullet (🤞) from Murray McMurray. She is around 2 weeks old. Her feathers are coming in and appear damaged, for lack of a better term. She also is not growing or feathering as fast as my other chicks the same age. Is this normal for the breed or something I should be...
Hello,
I got a few chicks from our local farm store which is supplied by Hoovers. This is my first polish, but, I have raised over 100 chicks, so I am not new to chick raising. This baby was pretty small in the cage. She appears malnourished. She is not drinking/eating on her own, however...
Hello,
I searched the threads and cannot find anything similar. I have a young pullet, around 4 or 5 months. In August, she had heat distress. I honestly did not think she would pull through. She made it, but every time it got over 95*F after that, she would lay around panting.
Now, we are...
Hello,
This is not emergent. I took in a 10 week old crested cream leg bar last week. She had gotten hurt somehow and her owner didn't have the time to dedicate to her healing (which is completely okay, not knocking the owner at all).
The injury was on the back of her neck, between the...
I am 95% sure I have a young drake here, but thought I would see if anyone sees something different. The duckling is 6 weeks old and I believe is sounding raspy. It has some new feathers coming in on its wing that have a blue iridescent tint. Legs are yellow. I have included some up close...
Hello, All.
I bought 3 of these Partridge Cochins from TSC due to the minimum. I am only going to keep one and I would hate that one to be the accidental cockeral that happens from time to time. Are you seeing any signs of roo in these three? They are approximately 4 weeks old, I am not too...
I thought this one was a pullet, however, I am getting some conflicting opinions. It is 12 weeks old, dad is BCM, mom is EE of some sort. Hackles feathers have a pointed pattern to them, but are physically rounded. Any input is appreciated!
Hello All,
I got three of these LF cochins from TSC. They are about a week old now. I am trying to discern the color pattern. I am starting to lean toward Partridge, but thought I would see what others think.
Don't mind the random Silver Laced Wyandotte in one photo, the store had a min of 4...
Hello,
I just joined, but have been lurking for a few years. I am excited to start participating in discussions. A little about me, I am a little addicted to chickens. I currently have 20ish and 3 duck. Thank goodness I live in city limits, or I would have a lot more! I also have 3 dogs, 2...
