    Hello all!! I have been trying to decide myself, but I go back and forth. I am leaning toward roo. This bird is 8 weeks old. It seems to have a pullet shaped head to me, but the wattles and comb are developing. This bird is very pecky even to my grown girls. He/she will jump up at my 9 week...

    She Got it Right This Time!!

    After yesterday's scrambled egg fiasco, I found this this morning, 6 days after the squatting started. Silly Tilly got it right! It is a light buff color. Do Production Red eggs get darker than this?
