Jimmy - cute modeling chicken. Too funny!!

Sib - not feather sexable. Some males/females will feather out differently as in faster in some areas but not sure thing.

HT - if I ha room for absolutely anything else.... Might come to the darkside, but... I'm bulging at the seams already!

yeah, about feather sexing...thought for sure my 4 lav orp chicks were 2 cockeral, 2 pullet....2 had long tail feathers and 2 had none....have 3 cockerals and 1 pullet

Its possible that they can be feather- sexed if you breed for it. I'm guessing that some hatcheries have bred for that trait so that they can feather sex them.

It will be interesting to see how the feathers turn out as an adult!

WOW.. I hope you will share pictures of that one later.... I am thinking that is a breeding resulting of a black to a buff... but honestly I don't really know.

Thank you Jimmy. I hope you have a great hatch. I certainly have been hatching them like crazy lol . This last batch has a lot more blues and 3 splashes.

I love my babies from you reenie! They are growing fast, and doing quite well. And Jimmy, man oh man, that Lav roo, he is starting to really boss me around! I need like rooster behavior training. Im a bit nervous around him. Pretty boy though....and the eggs, go into lockdown wed!!

Too funny, it is like a little orpington family over here! Its so nice to have faces with names too! Have a great day!
