Dorothy the Easter Egger

[meredithfp]

I'm thinking it's still too early to determine Dorothy's gender, so I'm starting a thread that I'll update weekly until we know for sure. Any guesses?



2 weeks





3 weeks. Someone mentioned to watch out for red around the shoulders?

Bumping. Anyone?

You'll have to wait a while before knowing for sure the gender. Maybe post some pics around 4-5 weeks and others will have some opinions.

Is Dorothy developing a pea comb (can't see comb in any of the photos)? If so, how many rows of peas do you see?

Okay. Here's Dorothy again at 4 weeks. Any signs yet? I think there's just one row of peas, but I'm not sure I know exactly what I'm looking for.

You're looking right, glad you posted a pic of HER comb EEs gave pea comb, cockerels have 3 rows while pullets 1....As of now Dorothy has been named right Post another pic of her comb at 6wk & 8wk.

The whole cockerels only have 3 rows, pullets only have one is not true. A pullet with a proper pea will have 3 rows, just like the boys. It's just more obvious on the cockerels, earlier on. I've had plenty of pullets with 3 three row combs. And I've have the occasional cockerel with only one row.

Thanks for the correction.
