Ok, I know not the greatest pic, but Mocha just moves to fast! Just wondering if her coloring looks girly or boyish? The little brown one in the middle (the other is a little cochin roo

)

Hen, we have 3 of similar coloring. They all feathered slightly different as adults but looked much like her when younger.

Very cute chicks, but 2 weeks of age is too young to sex. Try again when they are about 5- 6 weeks of age.

Are we still thinking this guy (hatched around July 4) is a roo?

he's too pretty- I don't want to see him go!

Roo. Red on the shoulders is your biggest clue.

Roo, red toned feathering and that comb is big. He is very pretty, you can see the green sheen starting to show on some of his feathers too.

I think he's gorgeous & he's a great guy. Would you like him?

We just tagged our keeper Roos here, everyone else has a reservation with freezer camp.
