I was tempted, but I can't have roosters, and I already loved him enough that I knew trying to raise him and then rehome him would be really hard on my heart.

You guys! Wendell is a LAVENDER ORPINGTON! He went back to the breeder yesterday, and EO's are back on m wish list. Next spring, perhaps!

Una gallina? O un gallo?

You know, this one isn't what I would call friendly. Nice enough, but tends to stick to the back corner of the brooder until the others have rushed forward. So we'll see!

Thank you! If nothing is standing out as 100% cockerel, then I'll hang on until we hear a crow. I'm really excited about this breed, and this little bird's personality is growing on me.
