Auguat is now 145 days old. 21 weeks old 4 months 23 days to be exact. I have gone back and forth and gotten several strong opinions for why she is a he or he is a she. August clucks puxks and purrs August honks loudly like a goose. August bellows out a creeky scratchy elevating squack. August only has 4 toes. August has feathered feet. Auagust has a tiny pink comb. Auugust hatched super tiny with a penquin looking pattern. The first feathering produced a solid black bird with a small dot of white on the chest. Eventually there was a bit if a molt and the white was gone and coppery feathers started appearing around the neck and face. Then I noticed a green sheen to some torso feathers. August's under fluff is extremely soft and fluffy and theres a lot of it. These feathers are more of a gray black ash color. Eyes are a sort of dark golden orange There is a lovely beard/fluff on the cheeks. Tail feathers keep changing. Appear mostly rounded but prior to them falling out there seemed to be a curving happening on top. Broody hen was a salmon Faverolle,who may or may not have been the hen who laid the egg. August's legs are a grayish tint. I have not seen evidence of spur buds I have seen no eggs I have heard no crows. Potential breed based on whats in the ranch and was was recently on the ranch. RIR Wyandotte,Silkie,Faverolle, Leghorn. Several mixed with a blend of the above. So with all that info and the photos Iv attached Lets see what round 4 of this guessing game brings about What breed mix and gender is August?
Hi Alex <3 I truly hope that is the outcome. Such a smart beautiful and clever bird. I am wishing for eggs
I agree, August is definitely a pullet. Lovely looking girl, too. She reminds me that she could be an Olive Egger...like one parent was an Ameraucana, and the other was a Black Copper Marans. You may just get green eggs from her. I hope she lays soon!
