Please forgive me while I have a good chuckle at this. I've had some confusing moments myself when encountering abbreviations I "thought" I knew, but learned the BYC context.

Sorry for the confusion! In threads where responders post pics of birds, I find it avoids confusion to specify you're speaking of the Origional Poster's bird, otherwise folks think you're speaking of the additional birds posted.

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!

Fairly confident that is a Hen :) Mine looked just like that at 7 wks.

She had some pretty big curvy feathers on her rear end but they fold inwards in this pic so they're hard to see.
