Well, we just got 15 chicks the day before St Patty's Day. 13 pullets of various breeds and 2 straight run bantams of unknown (to us) breeds. One of the bantams was darn near microscopic compared to the rest of the chicks and very unenergetic, though we saw it drinking and eating. Basically we were prepared to find it dead any given day. However, it cowboy'd up and has been plugging along just great, albeit much smaller than the rest (including the other banty). Now we've been joking that "Squirt" would turn out to be the lone rooster since day one...
...I'm no expert, but the other day this comb coloring caught my eye. It's definitely more red than any of the other chicks. What say ye? Is little Squirt destined to actually become the roo we've been joking about? Or am I just misreading.
Just for laughs, here's Squirt compared to the rest. All the chicks are the same age.
And lastly, anyone venture to guess what kind of bantam he/it is? Thanks!
