They are supposed to be ;) Reputable breeders include Ewe Crazy. Brian James Privot is a great person to buy from. If you have a facebook, Rare breed chicken auctions is a great group to start in. I won't be selling until next season maybe. I want to see how their offspring turn out :) Mine...

Thank you for posting this!

I thought #4 was a cockeral as well lol

Thank you so much or letting me know!

I saw it after the deed was done, unfortunately :/ Will know better next time. First time incubating eggs
