Freida looks like a girl to me. But, Barnevelders are so hard to sex. I think girl because I see a darker chest and "she" has wing feathers showing a bit already. The comb is also pretty tiny and the stance is a little more like a girl too. The boys stand up tall with their chests sticking out in almost a "I'm bigger than you" stance. Boys sometimes have white chests. I try to add up all the possible "signs" and then guess. I do hope you got a girl for all your troubles.

Oh Cheryl, Ethel and Freida are so sweet!!

Isn't it amazing how fast they grow and develop. They go from cute little fuzzy butts to teeny tail feathers so quickly. Then watch out!!

Congratulations, I am so happy for you.

Thank you for the links. I can't believe I'm going to stick these little babies. And mine are banties so they are REALLY small, but they grow quick. I need to do a night project so I can get my big birds while they are roosting, and I know I need to do the whole flock at the same time. And a good time was had by all.
