Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Grandma The Chicken]

Caturday Saturday
He can't seem to stay awake.

This little stinker keeps jumping out of the basket. Consider this an extremely early Mugshot Monday.

I had to take the bird into the house to get a picture, and a few snuggles
It’s Gizmo!

Yep, and it wasn’t easy catching that bird!

That's a limited selection not to mention most are sold out. Your local breeder contacts sound like more choices ~ or like us, we drove 1-1/2 hrs one way to get what we wanted DNA-sexed from a private breeder. You've got another year to mull over a plan I love all the roos we see but we can't deal w/a surprise cockerel cuz there's no way to find them a home in our suburbs.

Same here it’s the Roos. I will only get from a hatchery that can gender select to reduce the risk of a Roo.

Jolly will hopefully be the last Roo I have to deal with trying to rehome.

Id say that Pebble is a boy. My adult hens at max have had combs that big. Usually they are almost non-existent. Boys start getting streamers off the back in around 14-16 weeks.

Same with Jolly, his comb is more pronounced than Holly’s and larger.

His head streamers started coming in around 15 weeks though they could have been coming in before - but since I have been trimming his topknot hard to say, and he started crowing at 18 weeks I think.

But I knew in my heart he was a boy at 2 weeks, he just didn’t stop chirping very chatty. Holly hardly made a sound, and was very quiet.

But once his tail feathers started coming in I knew…..

You said Speckled Suspects”.
