A little update. Unless Boco is a pullet showing off some pointy feathers I'm leaning more toward cockrel now.
I'll be posting more pictures as they grow and probably share old ones too! Maybe it can help others get some help with their cuties! :jumpy

Gotta love phones... I had not finished typing yet and it posted for me!
Meet Boco, a Blue Sumatra. They are between 7-8 weeks old. Very sweet and independent lap bird. Doesn't take anything from the other chicks including the one roo I know for sure. I've never been around the breed at all so...
