    can you id these "pullets"?

    thanks! that would explain why they seem so flighty. i was hoping they were just very young and not used to people. i was asked why i didn't get a roo. looks like i did, after all! it's nice to know that they'll be decent layers, but i was so hoping they were a black sex link. i guess i should...

    mystery bird

    i couldn't SEE enough of a difference in those two to know for sure either way...it's so hard to know without a reliable reference point just how big they all are. she sure LOOKS like a meaty thing, though!
