Oh absolutley. Although, i don't stand behind my initial sexing anymore. These look like the houdan and sexing is probably difficult. But you can breed whatever you want to. It is always fun to see the chicks produced by certain combinations of chickens.

Crevecoeurs I am not familiar with these, but it also has the v comb, and only 4 toes. Seems to be most common in black.

The comb looks consistent with a houdan. Very unique.

Very interesting. I wonder if some hatchery quality Houdans would only have 4 toes.

Their utility is incredible in terms of bugs and eliminating them, mainly the flies here. But everything else just makes me want to cry at times. The worst is when I'm out and about on the property and I see a hen running around with a bunch of keets in tow, that she just hatched. They will...

Haha. Perfect emoji.

We have Guineas as well. I pray daily that something would come and eat them. 😂🤣

It does have an extra toe, yes. That would be a good qualifier for this black one.

Oh gosh. I am sorry. The polishes are so personable that it is the saddest of all when something happens. This one is going to be right on the cusp of crest sexing, but If it were mine it start anticipating him as being a cockerel.

When you have birds to this age (the black one) and they aren't developing a "ball" of feathers on their heads, they are a cockerel. The trickier ones are the cockerels with a mature crest shape. In that case, feather shape and their "forehead" feathers are going to be the ticket. Your...

Thank you very much fluffy. You are very good at quite a few things yourself. Sexing chickens of course, but also making sure my spelling and grammar is up to standards 🤣🤣😂

Everything appears normal with the exception of the obvious toes. When they are younger and start the toe curling, or when they hatch out, and you first notice it - you are supposed to put a piece of tape on the bottom of their foot with the toes in a normal position. This will encourage the...
