Thanks, I hatched her from an egg and I have been hoping and praying for this day for the last 7 months!
I really feel so happy about her being a her. So, thanks!
UPDATE ON SHARKIE CROCODILE SNAKIE!!
AT 26 WEEKS I FINALLY KNOW ITS GENDER!!
Follow the pictures down to find out... this was a tough one...see if you can figure it out..
Here is Sharkie at 4 weeks....
.
Here it is at 6 weeks...
Here it is at 10 weeks...
Okay, I checked out the link and I went in the back yard put Sharkie on my lap parted her feathers at the base for her neck ( between her wings) and worked my way down to the base of her tail, and I took these pictures.
I didnt see pin type feathers I did see rounded Webby type, but let me know...
I think sometimes the genetics mixes the comb features and the pea and rose comb sort of combine to form a hybrid of its own... It looks sort of like a very flat pea comb. I am not an expert but, I would say since it is a mix you could come up with a new name for it ....a Rosepea comb or...
I appreciate your imput though, so thank you for that, I havent given up yet.
No crowing yet... no eggs either ,
I have had no saddle feathers, and I do check closely daily, all the feathers at the base of the tail are rounded, an bouncy like my other hens tails.
Sharkie's tail is not growing...
It is probably a pullet ( I'd give it a 78% chance IMHO) I have one like that too... it is 12 weeks old and has a single bright red comb, hen, body and hen coloring...so yeah there is always a "shim" in the mix that keeps you guessing right up till it crows or lays an egg:-)
Here, check out my...
As far as photos, try to give them a treat they can eat from your one hand while you snap a few closeups with the other, or put feed right in front of you and wait for them to look up:-) That's what I do anyway.
In regard to gender, that chicks comb looks really red for 8 weeks. I can't see...
Thanks I hope you are right for the pullet vote...
And maybe their huge size has to do with allllllll the treats my little ones get;-) eggs, meal worms lots of apples pears, melon, berries. I don't know are the big?? I have no other reference ....what do you guys
think....
