At this age, they will change a lot. Looks like there is a lot of partridge coloring going on, and barred. Cute!

I can't wait to see what they turn out like !!

The first set of feathers can be very deceiving. I've had birds with lots of pattern on that first plummage end up being a very simple black tailed buff. But that doesn't meat they won't carry some kind of pattern that could come out in their offspring.

Added my two white NN hens to the Bresse pen Wednesday night. In a couple weeks I'll be putting some eggs in the incubator! That's 6 Bresse hens and 2 NN hens under 2 Bresse roosters. So 1/4 chance of NNxBresse and the rest will be pure Bresse.
I don't think I'll be setting any eggs from the black NN pen this time around, I have enough from the Feb 1st hatch right now. All the other eggs I'll be setting will be from other sources. Some Dorkings from DesertChic and some Marans and Orpingtons I'll be getting from Kansas, and then whatever I may get from a spring egg swap I signed up for. This is gonna be a very exciting hatch!

I'm really thinking this is a pullet. Granted, peacombs are generally my kryptonite, but I don't see any saddle feathers, and given the bird's size and age I would expect both the comb and wattles to be much larger for a cockerel. She's really beautiful, too!

Legs/feet look a little more on the "dainty" side, too.
