that was my job. im so embarrassed that i was wrong!

hdowden, you should take over this blog. i quit! im no good at it! and sidmerrit, is it an old english bantam?! i love that breed!

bantam pullet and mix breed but i would so love to have this little girl in my mixed flock

i would love it too. i have an oeg and she has a smaller comb than this one. so i say its a cockerel.

My guess on yours was a Roo (before I got down to where you said what it is!). What is your thought on this White Americana/EE? I purchased four "day old" pullets from Murray McMurray Hatchery and they gave me an extra one for free. We've assumed it was a male...it's a freebie and we've thought it acted more like a Roo, but we're now questioning that since it doesn't have any comb yet at six weeks old. Perhaps it's still too early with these...???!!!
