    Cuckoo Bluebar...

    Well... Sadly, my spidey sense was right and we started crowing last week. Luckily, the person we got him from was willing to trade us for his sister... So, nooooow we have a lady. Of course, she wasn't handled in the way that ours was, so I'm hoping that she comes around. As for now, she is...

    Cuckoo Bluebar Roo or Pullet?

    That means there is HOPE! YES! As for the red, I didn't think even the roos had rad, except maybe in their comb/wattle. Thanks for your input.

    Cuckoo Bluebar Roo or Pullet?

    Well, my Cuckoo Bluebar is almost 4 weeks old. I'm terrible at sex determination by my spidey sense thinks I have a roo.
