Thankyou! I know I'm bias lol but he is handsome You can see the sheen on his feathers in photos now Sadly lost all but one hen to foxin moxin one night when we were out later than usual (the one in the pic survived and Jerry obvs) he now has another 6 girls (7 inc the original hen) i re-homed...
For sure, well chuffed :D I said as I only got one chick from 6 eggs that I hoped it would be a cockerel :) Named him Jerry (Jerry Jurassic, as my husband says he's like a dinosaur chicken, with the size of him compared to the warrens lol)
So the wait is over, it's a cockerel He's been showing more male characteristics, doing a lil dance around one of the hens, and today I saw him crowing :)
I opened the door to the hen house to count them and he/she happened to be right by the door, best chance I had of getting some close up pics. Fingers crossed it starts crowing then lol.
Yhea sorry about the picture quality, chickens just don't listen the word stay still.....so disobedient lol!! I will of course come back with the final outcome! Nah I don't want to stress out unnecessarily by trapping him/her, it's more me being impatient and wanting to know now lol! Watch this...
Right bribed back with some sweetcorn! Mind you I'm feedlady, so they come running as soon as they see me lol. Hopefully these pics will help, hard to get when the other chickens are chasing him/her off! Sorry if any doubled up!!
This is what makes me hope it's a cockerel, the tail, but then I look at the face and think it looks more girly lol. Should start taking bets and see who wins in a few months time lol.
Will see if I can get some more pics later/tomorrow, easier to do when they are in :) Free ranging in the...
Haha, yep wouldn't usually but I have 10 hens, and out of 6 eggs put under the last broody only this one hatched, so was hoping it would be a cockerel Save me having to go out and buy one lol.
