I just went outside to make sure I'm not the Moron ya think I am, I have a PURE Burmese hen guess what? BARRING on the wings also have a very low % (about half) Spalding hen guess what? BARRING on the wings........... makes me think its a hen.

They're kinda small for yearlings what did you feed them when they were growing?

If you remember Steve, these are the ones raised on cracked corn from the "When can I expect spurs" thread! That might be why they are a tad small and orange.

I must have missed that thread, Not trying to be mean or rude but I would think with a user name like SuperPeacockman he knew everything and could help us.

Gotta admit, I was waitin' for someone to yank on the cape.

Sorry, we raised chicks on cracked corn two years ago and they were fine. They have 18% feed now. Thanks for the info, it is quite possible that she/he is a spalding two of the chicks hatched out of eggs from a garden center with alot of random breeds. They have a huge beautiful male that I think is a purple black shoulder pied. Also my name is a little presumptuous I suppose. I am still learning, before I joined BYC I thought I knew everything, man was I wrong

I read that pure greens never have barring I am probably wrong though
