I was wondering that too.

Maybe getting sexed pairs is not such a bad idea after all.

I got a sexed pair and Jenny sent me two extra and i think they are both pullets. I feel like i won the lottery. Here are some pictures of the pair of flowers playing in the garden. I will take more picture of the other two tonight. I think we need to post lots of pictures since there are not that many pictures of this breed

My flowers are about 5 weeks old now and 3 of them have crests!

I'm positive this guy is a cockerel

Would love for this one to be a pullet, but sadly I think it will be a cockerel:

I have 2 black ones, I have no idea what they will turn out to look like:

I have 2 gray ones just like this one:

all your crested ones look like cockerals to me

gray one as chick on right

now, the cockeral in the middle (the pullet to the left is going with the cockeral below)

black one, can't find chick pic but here he is now

 

[klf73]

just for fun, here is my crested cockeral

and the girl that is going with him

Thanks for the pictures to compare! This is my third time trying for a crested pullet.

I guess I need to throw in the towel. I don't keep roosters so they will all be rehomed. Love the variety of colors you can get with this breed!

I think she was a reddish color...will have to try to find the chick pics...
Unfortunately, with only two pullets, I can't part with her. I have 3 or 4 more crested chicks...not sure of gender yet...

Wow. They are all beautiful pictures! I have two eggs due to hatch Monday. Here's hoping they DO.

 

[anniesmom]

They both hatched! Yeah!!
