Granny's gone and done it again

Wow, the male doesn’t even look the same breed. All the brooder babies have wide, flat combs. My experience has them all pegged as roos: slow feathering, wide pink combs, thick legs, stout bodies. But that could just be the breed, because they look to have pullet feathers. The coop baby should have another molt soon, so I guess we’ll see. From the few pics I’ve found, the males feather out lighter from the very start.

I selected for chicks with dark legs and the smallest headshots. The breeder looked at wing feathers in my buffs, but I think the one that died was the roo.
I'm glad you are taking pictures so we can see. I still think females. Sometimes in the barred and darker chickens (rocks, lorps, SLW) I've noticed the pullets will get pinker than you might expect. Like Spike.

Hey now. I played the part of a troll once in a school play. 7th grade. It was all done in Spanish. Three Billy goats gruff or something like that.
Tres cabras Guillermos no amistosos! :lol:
(3 goats William not friendly) Close as I can get!

and it seems I am right back up there again.
yeah... it's only what you can do. I am downsizing by attrition... no more replacement animals.
