    Wattles - eggs question

    My Buff Orpington’s are twenty weeks old. I thought they would be laying eggs about this time so each morning I check the nesting boxes. No eggs as of yet and seems to me as if they are not even curious about the box. Today I noticed that they barely have wattles, do wattles have to be fully...

    Bearded Buff Laced Polish Genders

    Hey everyone, I have three bearded buff laced polish young that are about 10 weeks old. I wanted some help deciding on their genders, as it’s been awhile since I owned any polish. Two of them have bigger beards than the third, who has bigger wattles. I’m wondering if this means I have two...

    Silkie chick with noticeable wattles?

    I have a month old Silkie chick who has enormous wattles compared to my other silkies from the same hatch. Wondering if this is normal or perhaps a glimpse into what this chick’s sex might be? These are my first Silkie chicks, my other silkies I got as cockerels/pullets. Here are some pictures...

    What gender is my 3 and a half month to 5 month old Brahma, Cindy Lou/Cody?

    I really want to know because she/he is my most favorite chicken that I have ever had and I have a very strong bond with her/him. And how old is she/he. My aid heard her/him this morning in the coop and the young bird was beginning to crow. If it’s a he then I have to get rid of him and his name...

    Guinea fowl genetics... and wattles

    Hey guys! So I have a theory about guinea fowl genetics and I haven't seen it anywhere else but... flat and curly wattles. Some females have curly wattles (like my Misty and Glossy) but most have flat. Some males have flat wattles (like my Flap and Tabby) but most have curly. Male sex...

    5 Week Polish with Red Wattles = Definite Roo??

    I'm new to polish chicks and I've heard they're notoriously hard to sex, especially at a young age, but my splash polish chick has developed some huge red wattles already. For contrast, my wcb that's the same age doesn't have any at all! From the start I felt that this one was a little roo! Is...

    When do Polish get their wattles?

    At what age do Polish typically develop wattles? I have a dozen 13-week old assorted Polish. One buff-laced and one white-crested-black have had large bright red wattles and combs from a young age and they now have the spiky rock-star crests of roos. None of the others have the slightest sign...
