I’ve had chickens about two years now. First broody was last year in July. I’m still hoping for one this year….

Your babies are adorable!!!

Named after the Barnyard Dog bunch from Looney Tunes:

They are now 5 weeks old and I think I might have 4 roos and 1 hen ... curious on others thoughts.

Banty -> roo, based on comb but not as assertive as the others
MissPrissy -> roo, most developed comb and pick on others
Henery -> roo, comb larger but not as red as other, behaviour
Foghorn -> roo, but I really want them to be a hen, did not develop as quick as others and got picked on for a bit but has a distinct comb now and walks around very upright, smallest of the bunch
Egghead -> hen, calmest, no comb colour and smaller size

Did your predictions end up correct? Henry looks like a hen to me, but I need to practice.
