    I have 4 pullets and need some help

    I’m not great at sexing birds, but my guesses are that 3 & 4 are also cockerels. And 1 could be a pullet. The reason I say that is that I definitely see some pointed saddle feathers on the 4th one, and the striking splotches of color on the 3rd says cockerel to me. But again not 100%.

    Any guesses on what breed/s this guy is?

    I’m stumped on what breeds he could be. He is black, green, rust, red, and has some white feathers. Any thoughts?

    Broken beak, Not sure what to do.

    Hi, this is my boy Dusty. He has somehow broke his beak and part of the top fell off, his beak doesn’t fully close anymore and I’m not sure what I should do for him. It kinda looks to me like it’s starting to peel back. Will this grow back? Here are a few pics.

    Almost 5 week old EE "Pullet"?

    If I were to guess I’d say pullet. She’s darling!

    Sick hen getting worse.

    Ok, so I checked for mites last night and I couldn’t spot anything. Also she doesn’t have any red spots or any ruffled feathers that look like she is uncomfortable. But I really am completely out of ideas now for her.

    Thanks, are red mites actually red? Because I thought that they were, but then it said that they look like dirt, and dirt isn’t red.

    Sick hen getting worse.

    We aren’t sure exactly when she last laid, because we have multiple girls who lay white eggs and we are just coming off of the cold weather. But I do know at least over 2 weeks ago. She has never had any egg laying problems in the past. She is 2 1/2 years old.

    Her crop has nothing in it because she isn’t barely eating. I will definitely check for mites. Tho I’m not sure what I’m looking for.

    Sick hen getting worse.

    We have a leghorn girl who hasn’t been doing well for about a week now. She is closing her eyes at all times. Her face and comb are very very pale. And she is puffed up. Not eating much, but if she does, she is still pooping normally. She is also light as a feather. I thought that she was egg...
