The reddish brown one is a girl, the black and white one looks like a boy to me, red comb, bigger then most girls at the age he appears, and see those red "rusting" spots that my guess is just started showing up on his back (around his wings) that is classic EE boy, those red spots will get bigger. And the white in his hackle / saddle area will redden too.

sigh...another roo..... but oh so pretty!! thats what i was leaning towards with that redding comb....

am doing bumble on my main roo, redid all the roosts awhile back, but this actually looks like i didn't get it all the first time.... ewwwww

You're so right...they're also perfect for shut-ins and people that just don't want to trudge through a foot of snow. The small silkied ones should be thought of as companions and not barn-yard critters. They can't fly, they're calm, and they love attention and make wonderful pets....and I have freebies.

I agree June. Everyone needs a lap rooster. Mine is sitting on my lap as I type. Stella is in love with him and keeps licking him, which he doesn't seem to mind. I feel bad because I can not name him right now so I just call him my little rooter. OMG he is crowing and it is so darn cute. He is also trying to groom my hair and he did the rooster dance for me earlier.
Well pain meds have kicked in finally, going to go back to bed. After I finish loving on my rooster.

You could just call him 'SUPER-CHICKEN' since that is his alter ego...He can even have a uniform with an 'S'.

If we have any kind of 'Enabler's Award', I would like to nominate myself!!

Heck, I'm even going to vote for myself!! I've had a bumper month of enabling.

More oegb (there were lots!) at pryor's all bantam game poultry show:

If some of the oegb don't look like oegb, they're most likely american game bantams. That breed is newly accepted by the apa & aba. I had forgotten about that.

Turning out to be quite a deer season!

Nearly got blown away this morning. An old tarp I've been meaning to replace is now a remnant of strings.

I finished the piggy bodies last night. I can't get all the photos to upload, but there are enough here to show the biggest steps. Now I need to get them some baby clothes. Newborn ought to be the right size. DD still has some of the pajamas her kids wore, so we'll try on a few at Thanksgiving and see if we can find some that work. I thought I uploaded thumbnail sized photos, but the preview looks much larger.
