Should Louise be renamed Louis?

[AraucanaAnnie]

Well, here is my australorp pullet(?) Louise... she is supposed to be a girl but look at those wattles... the jiggle when she pecks! I can't have a rooster, so I would have to rehome it it or name it again: Freezer. MAN,

I hope it is a girl! Well... here it is!!

 

[akcountrygrrl]

How old? Right now she looks all pullet to me.

 

[PlatypusPerry]

Looks all girl to me too but I'm not an expert - I would say she looks very hen like.

 

[AraucanaAnnie]

REALLY??? That would be amazing!!! She is almost 16 weeks.

 

[akcountrygrrl]

Oh yeah, 16 weeks... That's a pullet.

 

[AraucanaAnnie]

OH MY GOSH THANKS SO MUCH THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

(in case you can't tell I'm a little happy

)

 

[AraucanaAnnie]

The reason I thought it was a boy, other than this being one of my first chickens, is because I have only one other bird of that age, and it is an ee. They are quite different!!

 

[AraucanaAnnie]

GAH!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!
