Coming back to the subject of the thread, did you notice the pointy Lancet feathers near the base of his tail? That's a rooster for you.

A fellow member once told me that Aseels were used in the development of the Wyandotte breed.

I assume you meant "gold laced".

I tell you it's better to have more chickens of all breeds and types than having shoes. Atleast you can show them off all at once and they multiply too.

I see that you are knowledgeable in these matters. I have a rooster who looks as if he is laced, not as clearly, but still. Can you please tell me his pattern.

I have heard about the chocolate one. Once upon a time there was a craze about the lavender Orpingtons. Then there were English Orpingtons. I am more into utility breeds. However I do keep Aseels as pets, they are my favorite. They don't mind close human contact, but they are no pushovers.

There is a gene in some breeds of fowl that makes bantam chickens. They are much smaller than their standard counterparts who are also known as 'large fowl'. Some breeds like Silkies come only in bantam variety, some like Marans only come in large fowl size, because they lack bantam gene. I...

I was not aware that there is a Silver Laced Orpington variety. I am not into Orpingtons, never had one. I am not a big fan of Cochins either. I like spicy and active chickens.

I am sure there are people who are better in sexing chickens. I for one was never good to begin with. However the way they hold themselves alone tells me that they are pullets. Add to that no attempt at crowing at three months, lack of Lancet feather development, the shape of the tail, the...

I see two pullets, but I could be wrong. You see compared to @sunnie7 , the comb your birds are paler and the tail is pointing towards the heavens and I don't see those Lancet feathers either and honestly they should be atleast practicing to crow by now.

If you look carefully you can see the saddle feathers going downwards.
