mine "should be all pullets and they already have pinker wattles than that sometimes. i really hope they are! they are only a couple weeks old, but 2 of my buff orp "pullets" have EXTREMELY red wattles... and i have already lost a pullet to a hawk, so lets hope they both aren't! rehoming roo's does not go very well here..

yea i ended up with two buff roos this time! i'm keeping them both if that barred rock turns out to be a hen! which i hope he does because those buff roos are the SWEETEST babies. they're like puppies! haha

my barred rocks are much sweeter than my buffs, but i think they will warm up, they were older when i got them.
