I still can't get decent pix of the sussexes but the buff chanteclers cooperated this afternoon, sorta kinda. Please tell me what you think: The two closest to the camera here I'm pretty positive are roos ("Big", the obvious roo just to L of center, and "Bigger", the R-most one). Both crow; both have the long pointy droopy whatchamacallit feathers along the 'small of their back', before the base of the tail. Unless you feel I am wrong about this , the other two chanteclers are the ones I'd mostly like opinions on. They are 14 weeks old today. Here they are again in front of Big - "Ladder" is on the left and "Friendly" is on the right: And again, Ladder on left and Friendly on right (and Bigger's butt ) On a scale of 1-10, how sure can I be that these are *really* hens? Thanks very much, Pat
your smaller two chanteclers are almost certainly hens. if they were also cockerels they would be on the same growth rate as your boys there, and crowing alongside them by this time. it'd say 10/10 chance they are defiantly pullets.
Cool beans, thank you very much! Harry, age 4, is very happy that Friendly and Ladder (can you guess that he named them himself?) get to stay Pat
the bigger ones are definitly roosters. the small petite one are -i'm hopefully positive- are hens!!!
