I am better than yesterday, thank you for asking. I had a good family day and the husband brought me shopping today

I can't believe they're allowed to be inside like that lol

They didn’t mind before but now they definitely want them outside.

Which is why we’re building the new coop this weekend.

Okay will do but I might wait until I can get better photos of them outside in the natural light haha should be moving them tomorrow or Monday. It doesn’t matter that much to me really, mostly just curious. I do think the EE is a boy now though upon closer inspection.

Here’s another pic of all of them together.

Here’s some close ups on the little EE. Definitely a boy, right?

I'm saying Pullet on this one. I don't see enough red to say cockerel

Phew! That’s a relief! That’s what I was thinking too but was paranoid it was like 6 or 7

That’s what I thought too plus not to mention the feather pattern looks distinctively girl (2 of my EE girls have very similar patterns) but do girls have 3 rows of peas like that? This one is very confusing. Guess I will have to watch and wait and see.

I have really good luck sprouting things in a damn paper towel in a zip lock bag placed on top of my refrigerator.
I think I am going to try this way.

What is it?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Yes...

Thanks! For some reason I thought only boys had the 3 rows.
