They are all around 2 months old. The buff brahma has the biggest and reddest comb of the group, and is starting to get those golden pointy saddle feather things....

This is kinda what I'm thinking. I don't see hackle feathers or saddle feathers on the buff. A profile shot of them standing, including the legs, is a good tool for us.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
