I have a couple that hatched out of "bonus eggs" a nice lady sent me. Naturally they are both boys.

But what silly, sweet boys they are! I really like them. These pictures are a week or so old. I need to get some new ones. The change so fast at this age.

Stewie in the shade. He's not really this blue. He is really as much of a hog as his distended crop shows!

T-Rex, the shy one.

Thanks colster! That's really nice of you to say. Fact is, I'm not desperate to get rid of them. They really are nice boys. I don't have a roo at all, and I've hatched mostly boys this year. I'm hoping to find a keeper or two out of the pack.

They do have silly little cottontails at this point! Cracks me up. T-Rex is trying to grow in saddle feathers, and they are sort of curly. It's cute.

Some pictures from today.

Not the best shots, but I was lucky to get anything before the storm rolled in. Yay Rain!

I am just trying to start a little breeding program, however, I was told that my three babies are roos. Here are their sweet little mugs anyhow.

Thoughts on gender??

#1 "Big" This one is a week older than the other two




#2 "Blackie"


#3 "Stripes"

I don't see three boys in the pictures... #1 might be a cockerel but the other two look like pullets to me. Lavender are still very much a project and combs can express very early even in pullets. Hang tight and grow them out you might just be surprised.
