please keep us posted about this chick. I am not experienced at all but I vote pullet again. I can see black on the comb and that is what females have. I am still learning.

We had one with the off colored hackle and one with good color! We culled the bad one and kept the good. He is about 3 years old now!

I like the nice spread on this males Tail, He will not produce any pinched Tail females. Very nice.

Finally got to the PC. If I amended any of my guesses, it would be a couple from the second group that actually look a little more girlish now that I can see them. My final prediction is 9-10 girls and 5-6 boys

I ended up with 2 Blue copper pullets and 4 Black copper pullets out of 15! Good news! I will have lots of roosters to pick from!

Don, I am going to need your help in a few months to pick out 2 or 3 of the better ones! Please!

Thank you! They are only 6 weeks old now. I will post pictures of them when they are closer to 20 weeks old. The girls are not showing any copper. Only about 4 of the males are showing some copper.

Too many points on the comb can be worked on and is only points off when being Judged. The Coronation or Carnation is a serious DQ.

Don, I think this is my keeper. Thoughts?

Quote: SC, I think he looks good as long as he chest color stays with just a little bit. If weather stays good tomorrow will get a couple of pictures of the oldest young I have. We have 100 out side that are about 10 weeks. Gonna be a lot of freezer birds I can already see.
SC, he isn't hump back is he.
