I believe I DEFINITELY have 3 boys out of my 12 babies!

I knew I had at least one boy about a week ago -- Starsky.

Then a couple days later I noticed that a second one was definitely a boy -- Hutch!

Now I'm thinking there's a 3rd one. Its comb is dark pink just like Starsky and Hutch!

Here are some pictures :)

Pictures of Starsky

Hutch loves having his wattles stroked! :)

Starsky in the back, Hutch in front, other in middle

The other possible boy in the front. What do you guys think?

I would say you are right. And I wouldn't bet against the one right at the back in pic 2 being a cockerel either.

Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

I agree...the one all the way in the back of the pack looks like a roo too! The way the head is up in the air to get a lay of the land....girls usually stay lower...my boys always seemed to have a scraggley appearance to their neck feathers when they were little too!!! uh oh! good luck.
