Hi! I have 2 white leghorns both 3 months old. Sold to me as pullets but I’m starting to think maybe one is a cockerel. His comb and wattles are larger and darker red and his wing feathers look awkward and out of place all the time. What do you guys think?

Got these little balls of fluff in the bantam bin at Tractor supply for half off! Pretty sure 3-6 are white and thinking 1 might be buff and 2 possibly splash? Wanted to get your opinions!

Help! My beloved hen Fanny is sick. I lost an older hen (no longer laying) that had the same symptoms last week. Fanny is 2 yo frizzle silkie. She started acting weird about a week ago, not running out of the coop when I would come outside, generally weak and wouldn’t move around too much and...

Hi there my frizzle hen (about 2 years old) has not been acting like her normal self for about a week now. She has stopped laying (which isn’t uncommon for her as she is a show breed). She has had heavy breathing and just not been generally active (stays in the coop when all the other hens run...

My 6-7 week old cuckoo Marans has been laying down most of the time in the brooder for the past two weeks. She’s eating drinking and pooping fine. I just moved my chicks into the coop outside and noticed she was walking weird and laying down more than standing up. Her legs look really far apart...

Just bought 8 assorted chicks ranging from 3-7 days old. They all were perfect the day I brought them home. The next morning one polish chick had an eye stuck shut, was constantly breathing slowly and heavily with its beak open, having diarrhea, I haven’t seen her eat and she is doing a head...

Fancy (white crested black polish) and Feisty (silver Seabright) are 8 weeks old. I’m pretty sure Feisty is already trying to crow and the red in the comb and wattles make me think cockerel, but I am leaning towards Fancy being a pullet because of her tame crest and lack of wattles. I would...

I have a silver seabright and a polish and suspect they are both roos. Would love your input!
