Congratulations, it's a...chicken.

I love straight runs...NOT! So, I thought we'd gotten lucky and beaten the odds, but the last couple of days our 13 week old: Lavender Orpington has gotten a bit lanky. The early comb and wattle development had already made me suspicious, plus the tail feathers didn't seem quite right. I would like a second, or how ever many, opinion. Are my suspicions correct? Do I have a roo?

Yes, sorry!

 

[whogirl71]

Ugh. And at the same time, I'm gloating. I told my fiancé six weeks ago we had a roo and he pooh poohed my suspicions. I have been vindicated!

Welcome! He's a good looking boy though.

Yes, I believe you have a cockerel there.

Looks suspiciously like a roo to me.

Lol. It is starting to appear to be the general consensus, and what I had suspected.
