Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 it's one of my light sussex and only one of them has the erect tail. I only noticed when we let them all out and they were in the garden. I will go and see if i can get a photo. Thanks for your reply.. Really worried now.

Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Sorry the photo's arn't very big. My other light sussex is like your top picture, Tom. But my other has definately got a different tail but not quite as fancy as your bottom pic. It's my sons fault for calling her Geoff!! I didn't mind when I thought she was a girl but will be so worried if it is a boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodcat Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 hey it's not easy to see because of the size of photos and i'm not an expert but i would have said that looks girlie to me. Shes holding her tail at a different angle but http://www.warrenphotographic.co.uk/mdh/06716.htm somtimes they do it doesn't look like the feathers are sweaping like the cockrels do. The most obvious indications are the headgear which look way to small for a cockrel of that age and the feathers round the neck which are more pointed in cockrels http://www.powerpoultry.co.uk/files/listingmodule/@random4941b827d725d/1230916298_Seb.jpg which i can't see. With bigger photos you could get more diffinitive answers but in your position i wouldn't be panicing Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
