Meet Picasso (video)

[meetthebubus]

um, I think Picasso is a cockerel. Very cute though!!!

I know, right? It's tricky I used to doubt that she was a pullet too, but I rescued her she was fully featherd so I estimate 4 weeks old at the time she came. Then I've had her for about 8 weeks now which means she is about 3 months old the SS just grow different than other breeds, very slow to grow, plus since she had crop issues as a baby that could of stunted her growth too. She has her saddle feathers in too, which are poofy and have a nice round end so now I know its a girl



Actually I have a chick I hatched a EE who is 4 weeks younger and is almost the same size as picasso lol

She is beautiful
How many flocks do you have ?
Do you have any bantams

 

[meetthebubus]

Thanks! I have 29 chickens
1 buff hen turned roo
7 buff orpington 6 hens 1 roo
20 Easter Eggers, one I hatched on my own from one of their eggs just this September, there is 1 egger roo amongst the 20
And then my rescue chick picasso
No bantams though I was tempted at tsc this year for bantams I have enough drama now lol


I have to keep those flocks separate bc ultimately integration didn't work bc of the roosters

Differently get a few bantams they are the best birds. My Pekin hens name is Chloe and she is adorable, if you have children let me say silkie hens will make them spend less time on technology and more time outside

Not a Silkie cockerel as they can be aggressive sometimes
