thanks!!

I love him!

Me too!! But I may not be able to keep him as I've already two 15 week cockerels and a possible Araucana cockerel... I really don't wanna send him to the stock pot or give him away!

Yeah! Here they are below. I initially thought Daddy might be an Araucana Cross but now to think of it he may be more of a Silkie cross given his fuzzy top, Mummy's a White Sussex Australorp cross:

Hmmmm..... I have another sibling cockerel who is almost pure-white though.. he has developed some brown speckles but he's nearly pure white otherwise. I have an old pic of him that's about 2 weeks old (so 5 week chick). He's the 2nd one from the right:

Great. Remember that barring is white bars. It doesn't have to be white on black.
