Pullet or Cockrel?
I got these two from the local feed store as 'sexed' EE pullets. I think the joke is on me here. Just today I saw that Green (I call them by their band colors) comb was distinctly darker in color than Blue. Like literally over night. These guys are my first EEs though, so maybe there is variation? I was planning on waiting till they were older (they are around 5 weeks) to ask you all, but um. I think it might be pretty obvious....
Green is the chick with red on the breast with yellow legs, Blue is all black with dark brown barring and grey legs.
If Green is a cockrel...what on earth do you do with EE cockerels?? I only ever raised birds that are duel purpose, so, an unneeded cockerel had a purpose in life. But. EE cockrels? Hm...
