Thank you. He's quite the crower too. Keep in mind, he's only 16 weeks in these photos and not fully grown. He's got awhile to go yet, I can't wait to see the end result.

I'm saying roo.

Those legs are HUGE! (A rooish trait, from what I've heard)

Oops, double post. My bad!

I'm going with pullet. Though the legs may seem big, it has feathered out very well especially on the shoulders, which is an indication of pullet. The comb and wattles are small too.

I'm not good at gender identification but he/she is sure cute!

Thanks so much from everyone - this is my first set of babies so I hope that I am doing well with them. They arrived at my house on November 30th -- I lost 3 but then again its December. Funny story on how I ended up with these guys .... I do wish they were a little more friendly like some of the stories I hear on byc but we do play and cuddle with them so I am hoping. They just don't seem to care either way. Maybe its the breed,

Today I switched them over to the "big" waterer and feeder. They seemed to like it. They are still rummaging around in a big pen in my cellar of all places ... we are supposed to already be moved but closing was put off until Jan 9th

Because of byc I am now officially hooked and getting my first set of cuckoos and salmons from pasofina

Thanks so much!!!!!
