    Now that "Agnes" is about 7 mo old, I'm curious to see what you guys think about gender. "She" has not crowed or even thought about getting in a nesting box. So I suppose it could still go either way... and I'm obviously the last person to guess a gender, LOL.

    Yep, #2 started crowing two days after #1 left. And the bottom of the feet are a much lighter color. Maybe peach?? I'm kinda color blind, lol

    Another update... I think my Marans may actually be Black Australorps, lol. #1 roo became quite sexually agressive and killed one of my hens. He has been rehomed. #2, that I naively tgought/hoped was a Pullet, has now started to crow, lol. The bantam Cochin is definitely a roo. BUT I still...

    Well, Marans #1 is definitely a roo... Crowing for several weeks and has started to be quite "rapey"... Marans #2 I believe is a pullet because "she" hasn't done any of this at this point. Her saddle feathers are actually more rounded than the roo in person and the roo has a MUCH larger and...

    Marans #1 and the Frizzle Cochin #3 are my favorites and have the BEST personalities, so I really hope one of them is a pullet and I don't have to choose between them :/ The comb on Marans #2 is quite a bit more red than #1, so I'm still hopeful... Unfortunately, I only have enough room for 1 roo.

    I unexpectedly took in ailing day old chicks after TCS got a shipment in with very few survivors due to the cold weather. These are my first chickens and given the circumstances I had no idea what I was getting. Of my survivors I believe I have a Bantam Frizzle Cochin, a Bantam Silkie, and...
