Oh, I'm so sorry. It's a hard call to make when you're only guessing at the problem.

Well, I've been traveling for work and haven't had a chance to snap a picture. The bump doesn't appear to be getting any larger, and she's behaving normally. I guess I'm going to assume it's fine and leave it alone. I'll still post a pick if I can grab her this weekend.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear. Were you able to figure out the cause?

Good luck!! I hope it works. Keep me posted.

It honestly just appeared. My first thought was that it was a sting or a bite, but it's been around for severa days now. Maybe it's gotten slightly bigger, but not a whole lot? I can definitely grab her later and get a better shot. She won't be happy about it, but there are worse things in the...

So this bumb showed up on my orp's comb a few days ago. Any idea what it is or what I should do? It looks a bit like a big pimple to me, which has me tempted to pop it. I've got some liquid wound care and thought about daubing some on, but I honestly have no idea what's right here. Sorry it was...

I had a chicken with similar symptoms (about four months old) who was diagnosed with coccidosis. I would recommend treating with corid as soon as possible. You may need to syringe feed the first dose or two, if that's what she has she probably won't want to eat or drink at this point. I'd also...

Thank god. I've already got to rehome one cockerel, and I really didn't want to deal with another.

I posted photos of my silver laced Wyandotte awhile back, but I still am not certain about gender. Any thoughts?? He/she is 16 weeks.

@summerb123 Sorry, the top to photos are at 13 weeks, bottom two are 6 weeks. Sizing is hard to tell at 6 weeks, since I'm holding her, but she was pretty average size, though slightly larger than some of my other confirmed pullets. I agree the comb was pretty pink, which is not typical, but...

Thanks! I think she might be a pullet as well. I noticed today that her waddles have gotten a bit bigger (but still not remotely as big as the definite barred rock roo's) so I'm not feeling confident. Guess I'll just wait it out a bit longer and rehome if necessary.

Whoops, just started a new thread, then saw this. 13 week SLW: Thanks!

Hi all, I posted here awhile ago and folks seemed to think my SLW, pickles, was a roo. I'm not convinced. He/she is about 13 weeks now. Any thoughts? What are the distinguishing features I should be looking for now? Thanks. 13 weeks: 6 weeks (comb had some convinced she's a he):

Hi all-- any idea if this is a pullet or a cockerel? He/she is about 6 weeks old. Thanks!

Ok, thanks. I felt pretty confident the barred rock was a cockerel. The last rock I tried to get was also a roo, and he looked just the same. I'm crossing my fingers about the SLW. I guess time will tell!
