This summer, we ventured outside Australorps and ordered some Easter Egger pullets from Mt Healthy.
We were shocked at how big the chicks were and how quickly they grew compared to our Australorps.
The largest chick has always been Wizard. Big legs, big feet, big all over from day one. However, Wizard is timid and has always seemed to have a pullet personality.
At five weeks old, Wizard's pea comb is pink and growing larger. However, it's too young to crow or have definite saddle feathers (I think).
Cast your votes: do we have a huge pullet or a shy cockerel?
