Ok, now tell me how you can tell? the more he dries the less red he is looking. mostly the red is around his face.

thanks Fay and Cyn!! I had 8 buffs hatch a little over a week ago and they are thriving! I hope these little ones do as well. I am very excited now that my orp flock has begun.

I have the blue orp roo and five buffs in the coop. I am collecting their eggs right now to hatch in a week or so.

So far all cockerals have hatched with the red/brown down. Pullets are all buff. Its almost like a sex-link thing from what I am witnessing.
