A friend gave me these 3 BLRW and I've been anxiously watching the last 2 weeks as they feather out a bit more to see how the colors develop - of course now I'm seeing more pink/red up top than I was hoping. I've never had a cockerel/roo before, or any experience with anything but a single comb so I'm not sure what to expect or look for at this point. Below are some different pics so hopefully they are decent enough. There is a blue tarp over the run/coop so the colors aren't coming through as well as in person... I think they are 6-7 weeks old? They aren't the best pics... I totally agree with many other posters that chickens are really hard to get good pics of!
The backs of all 3 - the picture is deceiving, they are all about the same size...
#1 head and back
#2 head and back (looks very similar to #1, but the fuzz on it's back is a bit darker)
#3 - my main hope for a pullet, but then the darker feathers popped out on the shoulder area, and at the same time the comb all of a sudden seemed to puff up and darken a bit...
Mom to 3 ages 4, 3, and 1 - #4 due late December :)
Current flock: 2 RIRs (3 yrs old), 1 BSL (3 yrs old), gifted 3 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes (hoping for at least one pullet!), 2 EEs, and 1 Barneveldor...
Hoping to learn good husbandry and the ways of the past so I can help preserve them for the future ;)
