Here is my BCM cockerals (at least I believe they are both cockerals) They are 7 weeks old will be 8 weeks this Tuesday. These are pics I just took like 10min ago. (they were not to happy about being woke up) I like the looks of the 2nd one the best but his legs have no feathers. The 1st 3 pics are of the 1st chicken and the last 3 are of the 2nd chicken. Like I said I am not 100% the 1st one is a cockeral but these 2 are the best filled out among the 5 I have so I am assuming hehe. Anyway, opinions?

Take a very close look at their feet and shank color.

So no yellow on feet or toes?

Cool breeds. Is the olive egger a pullet? Would be fun getting green eggs if it is.

So you have misters in your coop?

I could probably figure out a mister system... but I would be worried the water coming out would be extremely hot. I may have to talk with my dad about figuring something out. I intend to dry and make a few DIY air conditioners for the birds. That seems like my best bet right now.

I worried the same thing before putting mine in. The mist is so fine that it evaporates and cools the air. If it were a sprinkler something the water would be hot. What are the temps where you live? It's around 110 degrees where I live and the misters work great.

Yes the olive Egger and the Bramah are both pullets

It's about mid to upper 80's where I live
