Stan,
You would be impressed with the TigerCreek 5. 3 cockerels and 2 pullets. They are really turning out fine. Large and broad and their combs look pretty good at this point which will give me three good ones to choose from. My SLW flock is spoken for so now I will have more room for your line. It looks like I will be doing more building for the splash and blue project though! You hit the nail on the head with the blue breeder.

well not all my pictures posted

Often you can see much more in a picture. If you look at this one, you will see a pink wattle. There should not be one at 5 weeks old so this one is probably a roo.

This is a pullet.

Possible Roo

Leaning towards Pullet

Possible roo--

Ay other guess on the others

The combs and wattles of the Cockerels will pink up and grow much larger over the next few weeks. The pullets will have smaller combs and wattles and both will stay yellowish until 14 to 16 weeks old. They will then start growing a bunch until they start laying, in the summer at 22 to 26 weeks old.

The Roosters will be crowing by then or they will be chicken dinner?

If they are roos I have no idea what to do. Maybe I will find some one to buy them. I am thinking I have 4 food and 2 pullets
