No, he's a feed store chick I bought from a rainbow layer PULLET bin for a broody I had. Figured he might be an Easter egger. Wonder if he came from Araucana stock as he has no tail to speak of at all. Aren't they considered rumpless?
That's what I was afraid of. That's my little Miracle that I was just sure wouldn't hatch. I'm going to be so sad if it's a he. I sure didn't intend to have another hatch. PJ had other plans.

I'll get some better pics when we get back from vacation. Those were 5aken at a distance on zoom. I think all my EEs are pullets except the one roo with the 3 pea comb. The other one I thought was a roo is the one that disappeared.
Probably for a while. Just depends on how many total roos i end up with. Still have the two bantams that had early combs but aren't red yet to watch. If i end up with 8 to 2 ratio in that coop and they don't fight i might keep them both. Will just have to see.

Here's pullet 1
Pullet 2
More up close and personal of his comb.
All are 8 weeks old. They were hatched from the same hen and roo.
@Wishing4Wings Here are a couple of pics of that one chick we've been talking about. i still didn't get as close as I wanted and the lighting isn't great but maybe it will help. They are 8 weeks old today.

a little...
Not that I'm aware of but that really doesn't mean anything. I know they are sneaky little things.
As for the comb i was really thinking it looked 3 pea-ish a couple of weeks ago but after seeing it next to momma and her comb, I dunno. Will wait til this weekend and take a close up pic of...
