Hmm, I thought the same thing Wynette, but one of my pullets from my first clutch looked pretty stout in the legs too, plus had a huge comb! She gave me another egg today, and is a purty, plus size gal!

Well then! I hope it's a pullet for you...unless you WANTED a cockerel!

Crapola!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, let's hope he's a goodun

Well Wynette, I'd never turn down a GOOD roo, but right now I was hoping for pullet. C'est la Vie...

Ya know, that's what I intially thought, when it was 2 days old, reared back and pecked my finger! Geebs said she'd had pullets do the same thing, so it's all her fault that I got my hopes up!

THANKS all !

Ok critics here's another try, see if this pic is ok.

Egg on right is Welsummer, the other two belong to the blue hens. Sorry eggs are hard to photograph. I'm not happy with the maran egg color.
I haven't figured out how to post more than one pic per reply on my phone. These are the chickens I'm not sure if I should keep or not. Help me out please.
Thanks
