Showing off my Showgirls

[laughingllama75]

OK,
here are 2 other pics from yesterday showing the side/body better. Does this help with color? I will try to get outside pics today, to see if that helps at all.

Those 2 pics are they the bird in both pics?

 

[laughingllama75]

yep, same bird in both photo's. the one I think is the male.

 

[insiderart]

I know they are too good to get on the ground! Even a silk settee would be fine!

 

[laughingllama75]

OK, yet MORE PICTURES. I took these outside, so hopefully the color will show better. Also, please excuse the need for weewacking. I have a nesting hen in the bushes, and I am waiting for her to come out.

I was unaware she hid a nest, but so be it.
So, here is the bigger one I think is male:

this one, he is trying to catch his balancel his wings are NOT normaly that spread out:

Here is the 2 together:

and last, here is Gonzo the hen(?):

Well he definitely has big wattles.. I'm going to say that Gonzo is a girl. Noname is a boy. But then I know nothing...this is just a guess. Love the outside pics.

I do however, notice they aren't on the ground.

LOL!!!

Nope, I had to keep pushing them out of my face, so I could take a pic. No touching the ground for them. Brats. Also, I THINK I am going to name No-name
BONZAI. do you like it? he seems like a Bonzai.......

 

[insiderart]

Bonzai seems like a good name for him. He has a nice poofy crest.

 

[shay20]

Oh yea defnitly Male and female. The one you think is a male- is male.
And the other is a girl.

Another way to tell is that , this works for me too.
You see how the girlish one is under the male? I bet she is like that all the time right?

I don't see anything that convinces me that the bird is male--yes, the wattles are larger, but the penciling is far more feminine than it should be on a male. No indication of streamers, and the comb is not large, perhaps in comparison, but not overall. If I had to make a guess, I'd say female, but I would place bets at this point. Ask again in a couple of months.
