Chickabee Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have read that pol ands can make strange noises. The tail feathers don't look like a cockerel, but she does shout. Guessing she's about 5 months now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Quite often the breeder will take them back. Might be worth asking. What kind is s/he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacquiefrost Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 i have a speckled sussex that i am starting to worry might be a he! i got 3 chooks at the end of august aged between 18 and 20 weeks. The goldline and RIR are now being dwafed by the speckeled sussex. No crowing yet though! i really must work out how to put photos on here.

Purplemaniacs Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 My Sussex hybrid was a big girl, certainly bigger that the two omlet girls and Merrydale Sweetie. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquiefrost Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 sadly just watched 'her' mount the goldline. do hens normally do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sometimes if only hens are kept, then one will try to show her dominance over the others by displaying male behaviours. If you were able to get a photo up we'd have a go at sexing it for you However, normally a LF RIR pullet would not be dwarfed by a LF sussex pullet of the same age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickabee Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 If you go on the second from top subject under the chickens heading, I have posted 2 comments on how to download using Ipad. It's basically the same with your computer but you use your right click on your mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm afraid I think I can see saddle feathers developing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yep, that looks very male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquiefrost Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Finally managed. Should have asked the kids to do it for me, would have been a lot quicker! link sorted again - Egluntyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquiefrost Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Skittle was my favourite too. So pretty, the photo doesn't do the colouring any justice. Breeder says to take him back and will exchange, but i don't think i want to introduce a new one to my other two. They are very happy together, seem even more so without Skittle in with them! So will just be taking him back and sticking with two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
