    Pullet or roo buff Brahmas

    You’re mostly correct. The bird that’s standing at the very back of the last photo is a pullet

    They are, aren’t they? Not sure on my thoughts. I think they’re gorgeous. I also think the collection is lacking in spiked plants, so adding one with leaves wouldn’t be the move. I hear they are crazy hard to keep alive. I’m also not sure about the whole toxicity thing. Don’t think they’re any...

    Yup, I do! Yeah, some are very picky about their wants and needs, but it’s fine. A few in the collection complained about our temps as well (imagine!), but I ignored them. Cool species, thanks! Will have to look up if either is in stock. Such a cool genus! Very easy to keep as well, as you say...

    I honestly can’t help with any potting ideas, but hey, the current one looks great, so I’m sure you’ll find something amazing to repot:oops:. It’s a plant that just screams rustic to me. I do need more euphorbia (have three currently), and WOW that is a pretty ferox! They’re possibly my...

    Ohhh they still look so cool and funky :love ! Fast growers, huh? Ugh can’t wait until my haworthia looks like that! She’s been growing…steadily:rolleyes:. I love slow growers, I really do, but sometimes it would be nice to have a really fast growing one in the collection. You turn away for...

    Brahma buff chicks male or female

    I’m going with cockerels for the chick in the first photo and the partridge you have circled. The white (first chick) might need a bit more time to say for certain, but I’m leaning cockerel. I’d be very surprised if the partridge chick is a pullet

    Ah, at least Popcorn will be absolutely gorgeous! All of mine have been more moderate in type, so I don’t know if you’ll need to assist Popcorn with their hatch. That would be something that you could ask the breeder. Go Popcorn!

    What do the parents look like? If they’re TOO typey, like say most modern Malaysian lines, you can run into some fertility issues. If they’re not extreme, then it’s likely something to do with shipping

    Oh, I’m sorry about the others :hugs :hmm . Go Popcorn! We need you to grow big and strong so you can show everyone how amazing seramas are!

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    Good news, about both the reluctant doe getting bred, and your pain being even a little more tolerable. Is the killing of a litter only a stress response, or are there usually other factors involved? Ooh, sounds great! Now you can say without having to lie that you have similar temps to...

    I will once again say that all the mods and BYC staff have been nothing short of amazing for the relatively short time I’ve been on the forum. Thank you, truly :hugs . It means a lot, especially since even being an ally can lead to one being singled out these days. I struggle with the news. On...

    Falling Down Heights, my daily life

    Ouch! That’s simply unfair. Hope you’re feeling better now :hugs . Isn’t it a myth or something of the sort that if you take your doe on a short drive around the block she will go into heat? Maybe your friend can try that as a last resort:p. Six litters, not bad at all!

    LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

    I’m so sorry :hugs . It feels like we’re going backwards in some ways. A lot of people who used to be ‘allies’ are showing their true colours, or reverting to a more hateful past self. The climate in the US is certainly no help in that, and more and more people are getting indoctrinated into...

    Never had chickens before!!

    Welcome to BYC, glad to have you! You are quite right in thinking that chickens are like most other animals in that they do recognise familiar faces. As prey animals, they are likely to be wary of new faces. If you free range, things might be easier. It gives you a more neutral space to...

    Indeed! If only that attitude was kept up when the fox came over… I didn’t actually witness the attack, so the reason he’s with us today could be that he was in fact aggressive towards the fox (he was the only cockerel to display this behaviour, and only he and a younger cockerel survived out...

    Sourdough Hens

    I honestly don’t know enough about Wyandottes to be able to comment on that, but they do appear to have at least a few differences. Their comb types, most notably. Rose combs can get quite large and do hold a lot of surface area, so perhaps a cushion comb is more well-suited for the cold...
