Oh dear- could still go either way! He/she is 7 weeks old now! Acts quite differently to the two Barnevelders in the same box. He/she is fairly quiet, where as I expect the others might be boys!
@speckledhen I have an updated photo for you- would be keen if you are still thinking rooster?
The black bars look wider to me than the white ones, and the dark wash now goes the whole way down the legs.
Hi everyone, any thoughts on these two Barnevelders? They are around 7 weeks old. One has feathered up a bit more around the neck. They both seem to have visible wattles starting around their necks.
Wow, thanks for the detailed reply! We will keep an eye on the three things you mentioned and maybe send another pic next week.
It didn’t have a very obvious spot on the head when we got it- so we thought it could be a girl, and we were looking for ones with darker legs but none of them really...
Hello,
We have 3 chicks- 2 x Barnevelder and 1 x Plymouth Rock.
Hoping they are all pullets, and I have been searching through everyone’s photos here- but not sure as we don’t have any others to compare with! They are about 4 weeks old (the Plymouth Rock is about a week younger).
Thanks!
