Thanks for weighing in on their genders. It's been an ongoing mystery since we got them in January. Poor Phoebe; I just had to put her in solitary confinement b/c her neck and rump feathers had been plucked bloody by some bullies in the bunch. I gave her a bath and then put her in the chicken tractor by herself for a while. You wouldn't think a rooster would take that kind of abuse laying down, would you?

I dunno. It is a little early to tell-so there is still hope.

I have had cochin bantams that are hatched with super-combs, and then they grow into lovely pullets with normal combs. I thought I had pics of my 2 MFCs on my work computer, but I guess not. One I am sure is a roo, and one is questionable. The roo has a comb and teeny waddles--the other has a comb and no waddles. So...?

Let's not worry just yet
