Meet the flock + need your help on roo watch!

A lot of comb and wattle for being so young. Almost certainly a cock.

As I feared hopefully the only one

Hopefully! Would you be able to keep him?

Fern is my WTG. One of my smaller chicks to start but she’s growing fast. She is hypervigilant, always has an eye on you. Fairly dominant, standoffish and quiet. She was the first one that I thought could be a boy but I don’t think that now. Thoughts?

Sadly no, we live in the suburbs! Wish I could though, I want a roo!

Maple is my biggest chick, always has been. Another blue egg layer. She looks like a dinosaur between the hawklike face, alert eyes and thick dark legs. Not the friendliest, not the most standoffish.

3 more to go! Here’s Peggy, the Columbian Wyandotte. I get 100% girl vibes from her. We called her “Piggy Peggy” when we first got her because every time you looked in the brooder, she would be eating she has a very round body and big eyes. Feathering slowly. One of the friendlier girls.

Orla is one of my prettiest chicks, a SLW. She was the bossiest chick at first but she has mellowed out a lot. Very cute, moderately friendly, quiet and reserved with the other chicks.

And finally, Lady Mary. The only one I *shouldn’t* have to worry about at all as she is a Black Star/Sexlink. Friendly, smart, alert, my smallest chick from day 1. I thought she’d be boring looking but she’s actually really cute.

Thanks so much for your help and feedback, everyone!

Did you order pullets?

Yes, ordered sexed pullets. Hatched on 4/19

 

[CassNelson]

Can you get pictures of their combs? They currently appear to be pullets but it is still really early to be sure.

I figured but I’m hoping for early thoughts, because if multiple of them screamed “rooster” I’d want to order more can’t keep the boys sadly hopefully the pics are decent!!
