So out of the original 41 that hatched I still have 16.

In my East pen:

1 Big FBCM roo... and at 15 weeks, he is a GIANT.
4 large FBCM pullets
3 GCM pullets
1 Giant Partridge Cochin X Light Brown Leghorn designer pullet (almost looks like the FBCMs but for the color!)

In my West pen:

1 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana roo. size is smallish IMHO.
2 Wheaten Ameraucana pullets.
2 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana pullets.
1 ?Splash? or BWA pullet

1 WCBlue Polish X BBL Polish... sex STILL not determined. (if I had to guess..? roo!)

Wish I had a laptop, I'd be taking pics BUT I posted today on this thread because yesterday when I let them all out to free range I had to laugh how they kept themselves separate from one pen to another and the Big FBCM roo let the little BWA roo know he was boss right away.

The other thing that surprised me at just 15+ weeks was that the roos seemed to be successfully mating with the pullets. No sign of eggs yet... guess they are just practicing.
