    Hi! [​IMG]

    Im just wondering...

    All of our pullets are 1 month old now, and all of their combs are so small, like... umm.....




    ____
    ------ like this size [​IMG]


    but one of the Americana's has a lot larger comb, about... Half a centimeter


    We were told their all pullets, but i'm not so sure about this one. [​IMG]

    Do you think shes really a Roo?? [​IMG]


    Please post, i need to know this so we can separate him/her from the others if he/she is a roo... were not breeders, we have them for eggs [​IMG]

    Pics are the best way for those in the know to take a guess.

    I have one right now that is nearly fully feathered. I am SO hoping it is a girl because I cant have a roo and I am in love with this baby. She isnt the friendliest or the prettiest. But she is fun to tease.[​IMG]
    My Speckled Sussex just doesnt react to things like my little mix chick does.

    At my computer, where are you?
    We'd need pics. You don't need to worry about them breeding for a long time yet though [​IMG]

    There is always the chance that when you order pouletts you may get a boy.[​IMG] When I ordered, I ordered only girl Buff O. now I hope one is a roo.[​IMG]
