Oh yes sorry Nando is the D-Brahma, totally awesome 7 mos roo. Big Mack Daddy protector. Seems to be tolerating Poppy who I'm guessing I should rename Peppy.
Yes I know what you mean. This one is hard to figure. I've seen pics of other Cali-Orp roosters and this one isn't like them. But I'm seeing saddle feathers start and hackles are up sometimes....sooooo. Yes my dark Brahma is the king. Love him. But can't have two. Thus my dilemma.
I'm pretty good at it too but this one is perplexing. Cali-orp hens and cockerels are sometimes similar in early stages. I guess I'll have to wait another few weeks.
Calico Orpington near 6 months. Seeking anyone who has experience with this somewhat rare breed to weigh in on gender? Please explain your opinion. Really needing a keen eye here. Much appreciated.
