Update! So I wasn't sure if my Orpington was male or female till last month I know I'm late on the update!
So Nutmeg is 100% a.......BOY!!! All pictures are of him! First pic is when he was younger
Pics from this month
They've not grown much at all but I was just curious cause I'm pretty sure they aren't Giants which is ok cause I have a mixed flock and I love every single one! Maybe they'll bond with my top hat roo
