    Thank you! He's just started to get real interested in the girls (who take off running for their lives)! Lol He still needs to perfect his crow too, as it's still a little high pitched. He's so sweet, not like roosters we've had in the past. Thanks for commenting

    Hey 1mommahen ! They are purdy! Is their combs more smooth than pointy? And my roo had more yellow in his face. I don't know if the different lines of BC's have any differences in coloring marks on the newborns faces. That's just what I found with mine. Your's look like little girls to me...
