in greece we say: the cheap meat the dogs eat it (hope it makes sense in english). it is not about meat only, it means that cheap things have no or little value.

Love this saying.....
Now we have "The cheap meat the dogs eat." and
"All hat and no cattle"

Just took some new photos of our BCM chick at two weeks exactly (along with the only other chick that hatched, a Cream Legbar) - I am still crossing my fingers that it's a pullet but if it's more likely a cockerel I'd rather know early on... thoughts appreciated!

I say pretty early to tell as I had pegged both my fcbm's for Roo's with the size of their Combs . One ended up getting really red w big wattles so he was def a roo . The pullet on the other hand took a while to be sure with the size ,color of her comb . I asked the breeder if this line was known for larger combs because visually it took longer to identify her sex .
Everyone assured me she was dude lolol she was not lol Sometimes they are tricky but I'm still learning Soo take that as you will lol

Thanks for the input! How old was your roo in this photo?

The one in the photo actually turned out to be a pullet lol just a few weeks old in that pic . Everyone is just about ready to go outside with the rest of my flock here in a minute. It's warm enough but they are still a tad smaller than the ones I have outside so I'm hesitant
