Maximus's Son is about the same size of as him, but feels like he's gonna exceed 5lbs, which is interesting.

The hackle feathers I mentioned previously. May need to zoom in alittle.

Also trying to figure out how I achieved this feather shape/length in lower hackle, above shoulders. I know the chick his hard feathered, but this is just odd, yet cool.

I have a friend that says pullet as well, but we'll see. Straw Yellow/Golden color is rarely seen in pullet unless it's caused by Autosomal Red.

Are you leaning toward cockerel now?

More then likely. It's had so many other traits that's been throwing me off. Also have bright yellow colored feathers coming in on it's back, & some rusty shoulders. Just no wattles. I think the wattle absence has to do with the mutation the mother has.

Breast.

Shoulder.

Back.

The Pullets. The Silver one looks to be starting to bud some spurs.

The Red Brassy Back is looking good.

The Black Pullet has grown to be full sized pretty much. Not exactly a Mini. But that's okay. I want Largefowl, Miniature, & Bantam sizes. Bantam variant will come later.
