Laura, that i don't think that is a cockerel. i think you may have yourself a lean pullet there. any other opinions on this????

that there is a Dellie girl. she's getting ready to make you some breakfast woman!

 

[LauraSBale]

Oh My,
MJ pm'd ya
well i was told on another thread he she was a light suxxex roo

I will take more pics today, and post them.

well he she is about 11 weeks old,
I did get a seabright bantam at the same time and his 11 weeks to and he has been crowing for 2 weeks now.

well, the legs are white for a del...so maybe a sussex male. i'm waiting this one out. hmmmmmm. weird! skinny legs.

 

[Goose and Fig]

Nah- that's gotta be a hen. At 11 weeks it should look alot more roo-ish. Did you say you got them at Tractor Supply? I highly doubt they'd have light sussex. The white legs are a little puzzling though.

 

[LauraSBale]

ok I just took these pics

11 weeks in these pics,
the other pics he she was about 8-9 weeks

it legs are very light yellow, i wouldnt say white or yellow

 

[miss_jayne]

DELEWARE hen. do not give her away girl! she is gonna do the do! those legs are yellow.

she just has a little off feathering!

so she isn't show quality!
whatev!

the eggs will taste just like eggs! i swear!

 

[miss_jayne]

i think also that the yellowing in her feathers is from her feed. corn does that. KEEP HER OR ELSE!

don't make me come over there and take the green boots back from yer kid!

Sorry but I disagree. Look and the tail feathers, they are curved and have a green sheen. The comb is also too big for a 11 week old hen. And I don't think it is a Delaware or a Light Sussex, I would say a Columbian Rock roo.
