Sire

Here is a pullet that looked the same from same parents so many will probably look like her.

How is the toe spacing?

 

[AHappychick]

excelent really, I have great toes on my breeders so spacing is good and feathering is good also

I have a few extras so I can select only the best 6

I just have a quick question... how do you sex these and at what age? I have that one lavender split from my ameraucana/FBCM order a couple months ago and am curious about sexing. I'm hoping for a girl, but don't know how to be sure. lol 10 weeks or so old now... time flies!!

I have lately been unable to tell with some of them until they crow lol here is a split from the same group and I could have sworn he was a pullet. Now I have 3 just like him all SQ except color is way off

so it is really hard to say with these chicks in particular it could take until maturity or crowing.

here is a pullett and it is very likely some will turn out like her as I get a lot like this. the penciling is really pretty.

OK, thanks

I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see how he/she turns out! hehe My boys have named "her" Ziggy because when she was a chick, she had that zig-zag pattern . So cute!
