Chicken tail feathers?
Our take
Hey there, fellow chicken enthusiasts! 🐔✨ So, you’ve welcomed some cluck-tastic silver laced Orpingtons into your life—how egg-citing! But it sounds like one of your feathered friends is sporting a bit of a tail feather dilemma. No tail feathers and a social butterfly? Maybe she’s just the rooster's prized hen! Let’s dive into this feathered mystery together and figure out if there’s anything to be concerned about or if she’s just living her best chicken life. 🥚💖
| | Hey everyone, we got a few chickens about a month ago now. They are silver laced orphingtons, 6 hens and a rooster. We got them just after they started laying so they are still young. One of the hens (light brown) seems to have little to no tail feathers, or they are pressed down constantly. They have been like this since they arrived. She is not egg bound either. We are new chicken owners so I’m wondering if we should be worried? She’s still first one to the food and pretty vocal and social so she seems fine in that regard. Is she just the roosters favourite perhaps?😅 [link] [comments] |

- Weird chicken tail? Broken or just born this way?Hi guys, I have realized that one of the new chickens my mother bought has a weird tail position. So far she is active, acting like a normal chicken and I’m not sure when the tail was like this. I think she was like this forever has far I remember. But I’m just worry if it will affect her when she will lay eggs, so far I didn’t saw her jump (not sure if she will be stable if she does) Idk I’m confuse but not worry since she is acting normal, what do you guys think? I know I’m cage but I don’t always monitor my mothers chickens 😅 submitted by /u/Sea-Entertainer-8160 [link] [comments]
- Hen or Rooster? …. Or both?!Yesterday I posted about my ‘roosters’ head shaking behaviour, and I was told this is actually a hen, or it was intersex, or it was a rooster. I’ve taken some better pictures and I’d love to know your opinion It does not crow, I’ve had it for a week only and prior owner says it attempts to and then goes silent after the first 0.5 seconds of what sound like a crow… It’s extremely protective of the rest of the flock and acts like a rooster, walks around quite up right and dominate. I am told it is a Partridge Laced Wyandotte, I am not sure if it’s cross breed, google shows me that roosters do not come in this colouring, and that wing shape looks hen to me but I am no chicken scientist Thank you! one very confused chicken owner 🧐 submitted by /u/Adept_Count3578 [link] [comments]
- Another questionnoticed something odd with one of my girls feathers, they don't like to be held or touched, so I caught her and saw there's new feathers coming in, just this small patch on her neck. any ideas what it could be from? 2nd picture just because I loved how dramatic she looked submitted by /u/Alexandriaann11 [link] [comments]
- Roo or Hen?Hi! We’re first time chicken owners and had gotten three chicks from a straight run batch. We think two may be roosters and the other a hen. They’re hitting their 6 week mark and we’re worried about how the hen will if she’s by herself in the coop. We can’t keep roosters where I’m at but they’ll be relocated to a friend’s farm that is in need of roosters. Are the roosters? 😭 submitted by /u/fayesky [link] [comments]
