Thread Starter 

both of these frizzled bar and frizzled easter egger ladies (hopefully, but i have my doubts) are approximately 7-8 weeks old. any guesses as to sex would be very much appreciated. if they're roos and anyone in the dallas, tx metroplex is interested in adopting for free, please let me know.

 

thanks so very much,

karen

I love you

At 7-8 weeks, it's pretty clear those are roosters.  But they get an A for good personal hygiene and orderly earring storage.

The color on Chickybaby is so much darker than I would have expected though, you should see if the guy you got them from would like exchange them or something, or you could like take them to people you dont likes houses and hide in the bushes and let them crow and then run. Like when you ring a doorbell and run except with a rooster... though that also seems like a bit more work than I would really want to put in. Convince your boss you need not 1 but 2 mascots living at your work!

Gee thanks, Rachel! Why yes, they do have awesome earring sorting abilities and impeccable personal hygiene! I have tried, several times, re: the mascot thing, never goes over too well with management; but with co-workers, different story. Perhaps I'll just hide them in the neighbor's bushes. Now, that might be fun
