Hoping for Hens x4

[ByardK]

That barred one is not a pullet? What breed do you think he is?

That one just developed the comb within the last week, so I hope it's a pullet!!

I'm hoping the same thing for one of mine. They're pushing nine weeks, and suddenly one of my Speckled Sussex "pullets" is sporting an awfully pink comb. I keep Nankin Bantams, so I'm not familiar with the growth patterns of standard breeds. I'm hoping this not-so-litte one isn't a game-changer. A standard sized rooster - ANY standard sized rooster - is way too large for my little Nanny hens. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

How red are we talking? These were my babies at nine weeks old - all pullets.

This is what they look like. The one white has a pinker comb and than the other. The barred keeps running away so I got that one behind the cage. Lol.
