This is a Bill kiddo and not to thrilled with me for taking him out of his nice toasty warm brooder. It's burrrrrrr-eeeeeEEE cold here this morning, but the sun is out...anyway, here he is 4 weeks old.

Good luck with your Barnies!

Thanks Pink -
What tells you that he is a cockerel at this point? Obviously his comb etc is not very large nor very red...
Do the Splash develop differently than the blacks and Blues?

Steve~ I am going by his comb and wattles right now, and no they do not develop any differently than the Black Cprs or Blue Cprs.

No to dwell on it too much(which I already have), but why then are those pics of mathaces birds at one month so much more developed?
