Aaawww thanks for replying again, it was mostly your very funny inputs that swayed me to keep him! Keep well!

Just wanted to show you guys that you got it right and that Dottie is now clearly a young roo. He is so beautiful, very high on the legs,gorgeous markings, very strong personality, so we decided to keep him and see how it goes!

[/IMG] Just wanted to show you guys that you were correct and that Dottie is clearly now a young rooster. Also, after your inputs we decided to keep him, crowing and all. He is so gorgeous and we love him to bits,even though he will randomly deliver evil pecks on the hands feeding him. LOL

LOL!!! Thanks so much I had such a nice chuckle now, your explanation so vivid. I hear what you say about noise of hens never thought about it like that, you made quite a good case for him now.

Thanks so much I think it is a unanimous vote. Will have to decide what to do with him now. Love him to bits though.

Sadly seems to be a cockerel. We are not allowed to have them in town so... we love him and won't actually mind him... maybe he will turn put to be a quiet chap

Hi there thanks for the reply I am now at peace that Dottie is a boy and will have to be exchanged. We love it so much though I'm very sad.He is walking on our lawn in this pic it is kikuyu grass that we use in South Africa can withstand loads of sun and heat. He loves coming right into the...

Thanks for the detailed opinion Chuck!!! You are correct there is some iridescent feathers starting to grow in the tail. And she is taking forever to grow her feathers. I suppose I better get used to saying he . Thanks once again!!

I hope this shows the tail better, it is nighttime now so I could get better ones tomorrow. Thanks so much for your help!

She? Is 4.5 months old now. We love her to bits and would be so sad if she's a cockerel as we can't have roos because of the crowing. You gave me some hope!

Hi there can anyone help to sex our Dottie which were sold to us as a hen?

Can I please get your opinion on our Dottie sold to us as a hen,she is now 4 half months old and worrying us as she is looking so much like a roo? Please help! Thx![/B]

Some wheatgrass sprouts.

Does anyone know if it is safe to add fresh Habaneros to their greens? Do the hot peppers not burn them? I have tons and also dry it for use in winter. Thx!!

Hi Mary thanks so much you guys have made me feel much less worried now plus given me some good tips on what to add in the heat. I have never had incubator chicks before only local breeds raised by hens and they were very 'streetwise' in our heat. Could not resist the gorgeous Orps though...

Hi there 3 Orps and 1 Wyandotte, got them for eggs. Not local breeds to SA as you know, but I love them so much!!

Thanks so much for your quick reply. We are talking about degrees Celsius, sorry for that. Summer here in South Africa at the moment hovering at 40 Celsius this time of year. They do have good cool shade, but will sit staring at the sun as though mesmerised. But I'm much less worried now if you...

Hi I have 4 backyard chickens now 4 months old. Incubator chicks. Seems to have no natural instincts like staying out of the sun in 40 degrees and out of torrential rain. What to do? Been trying to teach them to go inside from the rain, no such luck, they are extremely intelligent but seems to...
