In the Brooder
I got these beauties from a breeder that has mostly specialty breeds. A lot of English Orpingtons. He told me these were cuckoo. Pardon my ignorance but I am not familiar with this breed and didn't realize they could have a barred plumage? Also these birds have developed exactly the same, they look exactly the same except for one has slightly larger comb and wattle and one is slightly bigger overall. The feathering looks very female when they were babies they had the perfect round dot on their head indicating female? and A little black splash down the leg. Also now at 6-7 weeks their legs/feet don't seem to be big and their stance is usually very pullet-ish. All the indicators to be pullet but now those comb and wattles have me concerned I have 2 males? Thanks in advance for any replies?
