Updated pics of Hedwig He really does! Still no crowing but my boy is a beauty. I can't believe how long the sickle feathers are taking 😂

Don't think the last pic uploaded.

3 days ago I introduced a lavender Orpington about 5-6 weeks old to my teenager pen. It is a little smaller than the 9-10 week Olds. The first day and night seemed to go fine but when I checked on them the next morning I found my original 9 together and this poor little guy alone in a corner...

Lol.. we're the minority but team pullet it is! SHE'S 😂 not much larger than the other 8 (3 Speckled Sussex, 2 Silkie, 2 other EE and my what I told was a green egger but is apparently a Dark Brahma pullet) that were all acquired within a few days of each other. The DB is a bit taller but it's...

I got it on 3/20 and it was only a few days old.. fluffy baby pic, hence the name Hedwig 😉

Lol! The breeder I got her from said it was a Starlight Green Egger (I have 3 that look like ISA browns and one that has penciling and a dark tail similar to a Welsummer) and I know as hybrids they can look like anything but wow! A full fledged Dark Brahma? I have 2 newer light Brahma hens but...

We have VERY feathered feet so my guess is both parents were feather footed but the patterning is gorgeous 😍 and I'd love some ideas on how to possibly replicate it. 9 weeks old and I'm hoping pullet.🤞

Well I needed some colorful roos so I guess Hedwig will fit the bill😂 nearly every chick I just hatched out was black (thanks Australorp x2 and FBCM boys!)

What's typical EE cockerel development? Never had one so this is intriguing. Most of my cockerals I can sex relatively young.

Thanks for the explanation. I've only had EE pullets so I haven't seen an EE cockerel develop. Once Hedwig grows up I'll post new pics.

Fair enough! Beautiful either way.

I see no male saddle feathers, no red comb, no sickle feathers and not very pointed hackle feathers.. why do you think cockeral? Genuinely curious.

Around 9 weeks old now. Definitely thinking pullet. I added recent pictures.

Here's Hedwig now! Born around March 15th so close to 9 weeks old. Palest of pink/practically flesh colored comb and no thin saddle feathers.

Will do! Appreciate the help.
