And this is them today

I would have pegged them as girls also, dang it!

I know, I was very sad the day the one crowed right in my face. I refuse to rehome them unless things get bad and they stop liking each other enough to share. They’re both just the best boys! And if they’re patient, I got guaranteed pullets for them a month ago. So they’ll have more ladies to share I can tell the difference now having had both, these two girls combs are much less fleshy and are more narrow. Puff and Fluff didn’t really take off with boy combs for about 6 months, but the combs were fairly wide and cushiony from about 8 weeks on…

After spending another few hours hanging out in the run and staring at feathers, I'm feeling thinking Justice is a male. So I'm going to have to choose between Justice and Richard it looks like for genetics as they get bigger. Prince still wins for Blues currently. He's my favorite of this batch so hopefully he's a good one and not a jerk. Time will tell...

Just make sure to give them lots of love!
