Cockerel Contest, Ends feb 1st 2019

[Brahmachicken240]

Could these young men be any more stunning?

Please forgive me for entering this little guy again....my justification is that he's matured quite a bit since the last cockerel contest.

Name: Marble
Age: 6 months
Breed: Bantam Easter Egger
Fun fact about Marble: He's a LENS HOG!!! Pull out the camera, and he makes a beeline for the spotlight. This is demonstrated in the last picture. Never does a day go by when he's not all-up-in-my-business.

Stunning cockerel

Lots of Black Copper Marans here. Were yours mistakes like mine? Are BCMS, possibly, harder to sex as chicks?

 

[FrankieDoodle]

Beautiful

Thank you!

 

[MaryJanet]

I love this contest! I don't have any cockerels or roosters but looking through the photos has been wonderful! Can't wait to see what comes next

I don't know. I've only had mixes. I hatched them myself and I noticed the most of the darker chicks that hatched had some kind of copper coloring around the neck when feathering out, but the males had more copper coloring. The females where noticeably less colorful even at a young age and still are.

Have noooo roosters.

I'm sure someone nearby can fix that!

Lol, but no, I don't want roosters anyway.

Name: Iris
Age: 9-ish months
Breed: BCM mix
Something about him:
We named him Iris because we hoped he was a girl, and because his mothers name was Poppy.

He is absolutely stunning! Just a beautiful boy! My Harvey also started out as "Margaret". I didn't order any males, but I actually got three!
