Awwww, LH.........not substandard and/or defective. His women are highly selective and picky with whom they grace their chicks upon.
edited to fix my horrible spelling (at least what I caught of it, finally)

Aaawwww HorseFeathers that is such a sweet line of bull....to defend those defective women...they are defective, honestly.
. One is just plain weird, 1 is a baby killer and one refuses to give Cyn a girl baby. Defective I tell ya. But Suede tolerates them so there you have it, what a patient kind soul.

The three oldest are 4 weeks and the blue baby is 3 weeks now. I think the black one that is feathering fastest of all, contrary to what most Orp males do, is a cockerel. Alas, Venus may not be Venus after all. The first three pictures are Venus (or Vasilios, or whatever other Greek male name starts with "V").
Usually, my BBS Orp males are almost bare-backed at this age, not feathering faster than the girls, but I swear, I think the wattles are turning pink. It was, however, the other black chick with the larger comb who crowed in the brooder. And Zeus is turning out to be a Zena, that big round tennis ball with a beak is looking like a big old girl now! This is a topsy turvy year, though, so males could feather like females, females could crow, pigs could fly, whatever happens wouldn't shock me a bit.
So, what do you think?

I agree with you ...... could go either way!
I am just the worst at sexing Orps, for sure!

If that Venus is really a cockerel, it's the fastest feathering male BBS Orp I've ever seen in the five years I've had them. Anything is possible this year. Everything is upside down and backwards.

That is SO true... It started on January 3, when a man in a pickup truck came out of the blue and T-boned me and my little red car in my own driveway. The year hasn't been "right" ever since. Eggs hatching 7 days early, or 7 days late. Or not at all. Me falling onto a reclining concrete saguaro cactus and winding up with a bruise the size of a saucer and an extra potbelly on my lower back. One of our horses dying while trying to deliver twins. The list goes on and on. I thought the world was supposed to end in 2012! We're a year early!

Oh, my, your year tops mine, Milli!
I think 2012 has to be better. Doesn't it?
Good grief.
