Experts with assessments not opinions busted

[sybonbon]

I just wanted to share my experience as to when I first posted a gender question on BYC. This is a photo of my 18 week Pullet Opal. I posted her 6 week old photo for everyone to evaluate. I got 100% assessment, not opinion that she was a cockerel. When I expressed that I had my doubts I was told I was being rude. Well I held tight to my gut feeling that she was indeed a she and I am so happy with the outcome. Moral of the story, don't be so fast to verbally attack someone because they don't agree with you. For all of those experts, she laid her first egg at 18 weeks. Not bad for a poorly laced hatchery stock cockerel.

I am very sorry that you had that experience. It is not like that everywhere on the site. At least that is not my experience.

Thank you. I will not say who it was but if it's a long time member who has many awards. IMO doesn't belong on here.

They are beautiful eggs. I wish I had blue ones.

I went back and looked at her picture, and I would have probably suspected she was a cockerel....
Sometimes it's SO nice to be wrong Congratulations on your pretty eggs!

Will I be slapped if I say he's extremely handsome?

I don't know if I could bring myself to eat blue eggs. I'd want to frame them all - not sure how successful I'd be with that though.

Thanks. They are from my Easter Eggers. The tan is from my SLW but you probably already know that.
