A hen named "Butch"

[Rosecomb-Ryan]

it looks IDENTICAL to my rooster a few weeks back

Butchie's tail is smaller

 

[Rosecomb-Ryan]

look at the coloring

 

[FractalFarmer]

I know, but I have a pullet who used to be that color. She's not laying yet, but she's certainly a pullet. I hope Butchie's a pullet.

Denial........

Denial is the first step...

(Also take a look at the comb and wattle development in Ryan's bird. It's identical to yours.)

 

[Rosecomb-Ryan]

thank you Mikarod

I would also guess roo based on coloring and comb development.

Hehe. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. S/he's got a sweet personality; definitely the leader of the other 3 that are the same age, but fairly friendly to me and the kids. No crowing at all so far. I'll post updates once we know for sure what we've got as time progresses.

I have three BR roosters, all sweethearts. Either way, you'll have a great bird.

OK...I've got a question here.

Why post for opinions, if you weren't going to take them seriously?
