I got her as a chick in June or July...

Of my 3 LO so far 2 are cockerels

The other one is 4 wks behind and still to young to tell.

I have 4 total, girls. But LO are popular, I bet you can sell the boys for ten bucks.

My pure girl LO's were huge and I thought 2 were boys for a bit. but the combs stayed small. And they were a bigger bird than I was used to. If I had a boy, I would have kept it and breed him so I could have pures. I hatched out 1/2's last year and people still willing to pay 10 bucks, but I kept them.

 

[Ren2014]

That's awesome. I do want to breed and sell.

Have you seen those "all black chickens" Ayam cermani? they cost 2000 each. I want!

 

[gimmie birdies]

I think you can get 6 egg for 50 maybe I will check Ebay.

The above may not be current but the owner "Pyxis" is who I hope to buy from eventually. I'm just not sure how black birds would do in Texas heat
