Birchen, huh! I hadn't even considered that although it was on the list of possibilities! Cool!

I'm excited, I thought the lacing was a temporary thing. I like it! Now that I look at the photos on Privett's website I see that's what they are. They don't have any white on their wings, if it looks like it in the photos it's reflections from the sun. I just took a closer look at them again, definitely no white on their wings...YET. Just wondering what makes you think they are Roo's? I'm learning so it would be interesting to learn how to identify them while they're young.

On the other hand my Golden Laced has white tips on his feathers, would that also indicate Roo in this breed? Oddly enough, he's the smallest, lol! I'll get a few more photos of him today. He gets SOOOO upset when I separate him from the other birds. He cries frantically and searches for them so it is hard to get him still enough to get a decent photo from any angle. I'll work on it though :)

Whatever they are they are all staying so it is fine if I get a few Roo's. It was a Straight Run after all!
 
I never updated this with the final results. In case anyone is using this as reference here is what everyone turned out to be:

1. Birchen hen
2. Barred hen
3. Birchen hen
4. Golden Laced roo
5. Silver Laced hen

Who would have guessed? Maybe I'll get around to posting current photos...in case you don't believe me

That is awesome you ended up with just the one roo! I have what I think is a silver laced polish baby in my mix, crossing my fingers it is a hen!
