Hey @duluthralphie did I keep a rooster here or is this a big combed pullet? Hatched April 1.

Hopefully mine will be laying by then.... also could relay! I get with pyxis then drive south to meet you! I'm crazy ri even think about driving right now. Might have been in your area this summer too, we went to Harper's Ferry.

Opposite side of the state from me, but my hubby is over there right now, so I’m not beyond driving there.

Definitely pullet. That is a heck of a comb though. 3 weeks older than my group (hatched April 22) I don’t think they are nearly that big yet. But she sure is pretty

Ah man, i knew it couldn’t last. I guess Jax is coming back into drake-hood. I’ve seen him trying to run Bonkers off. I hate the thought of rehoming some drakes.

Mines head is charcoal (oh that’s not a color, I forgot lol!) but his bib isn’t fully claret like it supposed to be. He has some claret feathers up there, but they dont make a full bib yet. I’m hoping they come in later.

I thought so but that comb is pretty crazy isn't it. They are half like that half with a puffy poof and small comb so I'd started to wonder.
