    Here are a few pictures some young pullets around 5 months old. Not laying yet. Young black Cockerel. He is large and has nice comb and dark eyes.

    Pretty birds! I have a blue cockerel, a very light splash pullet & three black pullets. I may sell one of the black pullets because I don't need three....but yours are very pretty!

    Thank you all. Willie is from show stock and I think he has very nice comb and wattles. Have some eggs in the bator from him due to hatch in 9 days.
    Marina so glad you got your eggs okay. Wow it took a long time to get there when you are so close.
