I thought you were talking about DD & I: hanging at TSC, petting the bunnies, handling the chicks, chatting up strangers. Our kinda fun!

Thats a golden comet? WOW - it looks like a Red Star sexlink

Okay - now I'm confused even MORE - my girls look just like this but...a little redder and are Red Stars..

Red Stars, Golden Comets, those are all just names that the hatcheries give their version of the same thing. They are all made by crossing two different breeds to produce a "sex-linked" bird

That's what I was going to say, Smoky73... I was pretty sure they were basically the same thing.

I can help with the golden comets... Here are some pics of my GC girls just the other day:

There are a couple EEs in this picture - the one in the middle and the one in the top left. All the rest are golden comets.

Just because I thought you might be interested, the top egg in this picture was laid by one of the golden comets. Their eggs are always a pretty darker brown color. This picture was from when they first started laying last year.

Your girls are beautiful! I don't know how old this post is but I just now saw it and they remind me of mine because those are the two breeds of pullets that I got from cackle hatchery last year!
