Carmen is a Carmine. LOL. Hope you can have roosters. LOL. Well, anyway, they are super cute! But, I am not so sure you have 4 roos... I think that Sunny is iffy. Its a dotte mix, my dotte mixes look just like that at 5 weeks, and still not wattles on the girls, and the boys at this age do have wattles already, so I am thinking Sunny may be a girl...

What is a dotte mix? Sorry I am still learning breeds.

Well I have some new pictures that will probably clear up some questions about Sunny and pose a concern for Willow. I am really bummed about how much red I am seeing in my coop. Also the more pictures I look I the more I question what kinds of chickens these are. No beards or muffs but colored legs, some wyandotte coloring, pea combs and single combs. Help! I just got my license to have chickens in the city and now I fear that I have 4-5 roos.
Willow: (was really hoping this was a pullet) This is my talker, s/he coos and purrs and comes running whenever I call them. Sits on my leg, loves to be pet (crouches down when I pet her/him)

Weeble: My little runt.

Sunny:

Carlito: Started growing some brown/red feathers on his back and the black is now iridescent green in the sun

Elliot:

Olive/Oliver: S/he has the most beautiful iridescent green feathers! But also can be the nastiest chick.

Yup... A dotte is wyandotte. Sorry.. I see 4 cockerels. LOL, Don't feel bad. You can always eat them... Unless you don't like to think of that. Well anyway, The very first chickens I ever got were silkies. I picked 7... Of those 7, only 2 were hens. Yeah... LOL. Talk about miffed. Had to find homes for 4 cockerels! LOL. It happens. They are lovely boys by the way.

I am going to try to find them homes otherwise we have a friend that would take them for meat. I can't do it. They are really friendly and pretty. I have learned my lesson about being impatient, while I loved raising them their replacements will be older pullets. Cool thing is that I have learned about so many breeds I know what I want to get.
