Welcome to BYC! So in CA it's 6AM - not even light yet? LOL Wow has it been 17 weeks since Sept - I have some Sept hatched and lost track of the time. They change a LOT -- mine are just starting to get their saddle feathers - sickles and true hackles. One little guy is like a porcupine he has so many feathers poking in and I bet it hurts. One thing I have noticed in mine is that they tend to get lighter as they get adult plumage. Also at this age -- their feathers sometimes get a lot of random chestnut that goes away. If you can only keep one -- and you have one with a good comb and crest -- then he is for sure your keeper. I think getting a good comb can be a challenge in the breed. Comb will continue to grow as the cockerel matures -- so maybe that is the signal to cull the one with the ginormous comb--- it probably will just get bigger.Good morning, I have cl from Greenfire that were hatched in September. I'm trying to choose top 2 Roos. Only 1 is really what I would consider cream, so he's in even though his comb isn't perfect ( he's got 7 1/2points), but his comb is pretty straight & he's crested. The other roo is brightly colored and had a ginormous comb at a week old. These are the two largest of the group too. I guess my question is: is 17 weeks too soon to pick Roos?
Thanks ChicKat! I've been a lurker for a long time, but need to get posting, so maybe I can find some of these Roos a good home. Good point on the big comb guy. He probably won't be able to hold his head up if his baby comb was any indication. I am pleased with the pullets coloring. I'll try to get pics up soon.
