Below are two pictures of two different chickens. One has a comb that stands straight up and it crows. The other has a flopped comb and I have yet to hear it crow. What gender are they???

This is the one that crows and has a straight comb.

This is the one with the flopped comb.

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!
