    Thank you! She’s a sweet girl.

    Are Hen’s Spurs too Big?

    Neither have we. We’ve had many hens and never spurs like these. She’s actually the smallest one we have, a prairie bluebelll egger. I may try at least clipping/dremmeling the tips. Thanks!

    Are Hen’s Spurs too Big?

    Curious if these spurs are preventing my hen from roosting or it’s a different reason. I’m not sure if they’re too long or causing her any issues, doesn’t seem to be, but this particular hen never roosts. She always lays in the nest boxes or the ground so I’m constantly washing her vent area. I...

    Will these chicks inherit crests?

    We still have him because he isn’t weaned, but we can’t keep him because we already have a very good rooster (his dad) and the neighbors complained last time we had 3 😒. But thankfully we have a friend that will either keep him or cull/eat him- because we aren’t ready to do that on our own yet 😢...

    Will these chicks inherit crests?

    I agree. I would think the comb would be a bit redder at that age. It was also pretty obvious on my little man at about 3 weeks 😩

    And I’m sure someone here can tell if it’s a male or female. A lot of knowledgeable people on this site.

    It’s so big in person, looks more like a toupee lol! She’s very cute. One of her younger sisters has a crest but the one that looks more like her momma (the GLC pictured) doesn’t. Little man (on the right) has one too; he’s the one with the olive egger mom so both his parents have crests.

    Likelihood of this NOT being a cockerel

    Hi all! I’m 99% sure this almost 3 week old mutt is a cockerel, so that’s not my question. I’m wondering if anyone has had a chick at this age with such developed comb and wattles and it NOT turn out to be a roo. An olive egger mutt more specifically. I’ll post pictures of him and his parents if...

    Pullet or Cockerel?

    Hi all! I may be jumping the gun here, but I’m wondering if it’s safe to assume this 4 week old chick is a pullet. She’s a GLC mix. Thanks in advance!

    Will these chicks inherit crests?

    Hard to tell in the photo, but we definitely have a crest growing 😍. Now here’s to hoping they’re all girls!
