Scalped Cockeral

After looking back at all the pics, you're right! They are both roosters.

Maybe it was just the angle that made Bernie's saddle feathers look pointy like a rooster's.
I hope I don't have it backwards, rooster do have pointy saddle and hackle feathers, don't they?


Good thinking!

Bernie is too young to have saddle feathers. At this age you look at comb development. Rooster feathers come in at 3-5 months with the adult feathers.

Both Bernie and Conner turned six weeks old this past Monday.
Both from same hen, and onle have one Rooster 'roostering'.
Don't see any barring on Bernadette, and she was solid black as a chick...

Only time will tell. Will you give us an update in a few months? I've been wrong so many times that I find its best to wait for an egg or a crow to know sex.
Hope the little booger gets his wig back soon!

Wound is finally looking better. Growing back new muscle, skin and a few feathers.
