Well, at 11 weeks I'm thinking all boys, sorry. The first two are pretty positive, the last one does not have  as much comb but the tail is looking rooish. If you want absolute, post pics again in 3-4 weeks.

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!

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

That really sucks.  When I bought my 5 chicks I had a understanding with my breeder that they will take back roos.  2 turn out to be boys and the breeder not only took them back, she swap them for pullets. 

 

BTW, Dotty looks like a lemon cuckoo orpington
