Date sort Score sort
We named this one Delta

so she needs to be a she? I'm pretty sure that her mother was grey/blue with black specks like this all over too.

Dendenne is a pain to get pics, this one is flighty and doesn't like being touched, it pecks at people

Black Chick 2 has lots of pretty purple sheen and I was convinced was a boy until it stopped looking like the other boy and more like the other 3 then I got confused coz it still doesn't have any comb development either so I was a tad hopeful I was initially wrong, Any definite confirmation this is a rooster? The kids named this one Taco

Black Chick 3 has barely any sheen it's feathers are mostly matte black and it's been ill so fell behind in size to the others but weight wise feels about the same

it's doing better every day now I think, with all the effort to save it I really hope this is a girl

..I'm heaps keen to find out what other people think. Don't tell me they are all boys though

Also, I don't know why but Dendenne (the white one) is noticeably more heavy than the others now too
1f610.png
they don't pick on each other, none are really behaving like roosters towards the others I am waiting to see if any jump ontop of exchanger or spar or strut around but so far nothing, Mr roo follows us quickly like a shadow, chasing our feet a bit which our old rooster used to do, but my wynedotte hen does that too now
1f644.png
she seems to think she's a roo, jumps in the air and lunges at (regular) visitors when they have their backs turned sometimes lol, She's hand raised too

she's scared of NEW people though..

black chick 2 is named 'Taco'
1f644.png
lol soooo pretty purple
1f60d.png
I'm STILL not 100% sure about this one, clearly it's brother is a brother so I've been assuming it's a girl.
 
Yes Taco is beautiful, I think the purple colour is amazing

I never seen a purple chicken before so I am amazed. The 3Rd chick looks like a girl too only has a very small amount of green sheen and white specks on her head, I'm quite confident that I somehow only ended up with 1 boy out of 5, my expectations were to get 3

I love to post the photos and then I can look back and see how they grew. I like to find other posts and see how other chickens grow up. I think Buddy-Bro is going to be stunning
