I'm kind of stuck on " Billy Bob Tom". Its just so southern. And he's from the backwoods of Arkansas!

Sooo....was sitting with the poults. Took Iris out of the pen and wandered through the garden with her. Spending some one on one time. Billy Bob Tom was raising the roof! And I "think" I heard the beginning of a gobble! Put Iris back & grabbed him for a walk about the garden. Iris never said a word! No screaming from her....just "him". I'm convinced Iris is a girl. She looks & acts like one. (Like I know what I'm talking about!) I'm just about convinced the mottled is a boy. All based upon close observation and a gut feeling! LOL!

If she is two months or older, she is a hen.

This morning's catch was one Sweetgrass poult, one Tri-Color Mottled Black poult and two Tri-Color Mottled Slate poults. Of course ther was also a mad hen to deal with. She still has two unhatched eggs but it is unknown whether or not they are viable.

She was several weeks old when I picked her up at the end of May. I've always felt she was a hen. Totally based upon a gut feeling, and of course observation. She's a girlie girl too! And a real sweetie. I'm happy with her. I'll get a shot of Billy Bob Tom this weekend. He's younger. The breeder knew I really wanted a tri mottled and plucked him from a different batch of poults. He was quite a bit smaller when I got them. Now he's turning into a hunk.

You would have to hide these. Maybe wear an over sized bra.
