Granny's gone and done it again

I have new pics of the tractor babies!

The black silkie pullet and the 4 free babies! Just over 2-months old. Silkie is 5-6 mos.

Thoughts on silkie gender?

Hona/cochin pullet

Hona/cockerel cockerel

He's such a good boy! Look at him protecting his girls from that hona hen.

This is a polish tolbundt with no top knot. Don't know what to do with it. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.

Pretty birds you have! At first glance, I thought male, because of the tail. If the comb is red and it has long thin saddle feathers under those wings, then cockerel for sure. If the comb is pale, then you might have a pullet.

Oh my. Big hugs.

Double hugs.

Welcome

Thank you

Nice looking birds! Black Silkie is male, grey is female. (And you can count on me being right.... 50% of the time.

)

I see some dog feet in the 2nd picture... is that Jewel or Jasper? Is the pup safe around the chickens already?

The red one in the background is another cockerel? Such a red face.

H20, What happened to the tolbunts top? You have too many roos and you should mail him to me ! LOL He is the only one I remember seeing. The little blue hen can keep him company ok ? I like your EE ok BUT That chocolate rooster is beautiful. I like him a lot.
Thanks for the pictures. You have a nice flock.

Wishing, just cooked. My gm would do that too but I wouldnt be able to get it past my lips. It was baked boneless chops , dressing, gravy and rice. The 9x12 was overflowing

It's Jasper! I've been working with him since day 1, so he's great. He still romps around sometimes, just to flush them up. :/

I knew about the red one. He was just a couple weeks old when his comb turned red. Honestly, though, I knew once he dried that he was a cockerel. Just had that feeling. :/

But I hope you're wrong on the silkies! I bought the black one as a pullet. :/

Look at the spurs.

I almost got some chicken pictures to share. Those are blue eggs, no white.

that's a whole lot of rubber you have bought recently

It is! But needed, it just all came at once
. Hubs was down to the wire, literally. Mine were worn so unevenly, it caused other problems with the front end, and I needed a new brake caliper. #1's were down to the wear bars, and with the rainy winter coming, we won't risk it for a new driver. Sad thing is, we have other vehicles. several.
