Looks like any lingering question I had about the gender of my BO has been answered by my BO. Caught HIM trying to get it on with one of the pullets today. I love him, but he's gotta go.
The EE is growing tail feathers ... and, yes, he/she's absolutely beautiful and is going to be stunning when full-grown. (I know, I know ... it's a he ... I'm just in denial.)
