Okies in the BYC The Original

[Greybear23]

They are probably mature roosters or out of good "sporting" bloodlines, Albanys are a Black Breasted Red Game and the Hennies are a breed that the Roosters are "hen feathered" meaning the tail, neck, and saddle feathers on the Rooster is rounded on the ends like the hens, kinda like the Sebrite Bantams breed. There are pics and prices you will be surprised at online at a gamefowl auction if you want to look at them, it is Oakridge Gamefowl Auction, just google it, Lynn

What is so special about a lbany Henny, are they extremely rare, they are asking $100 for one. I know absolutely nothing about Games.

do cochins also have "hen feathers" regardless of gender? I have a cochin and since it hasn't crowed or laid an egg, I don't have a clue if it is a pullet or roo.

Here's another pic of my Orp., I love the look on Her face.

No, roosters have hackle and saddle. Their tail feathers look about the same.

Good. Hopefully this cochin is a pullet then. The feathers around the neck are rounded and there aren't any obvious saddle feathers. Thank you!
