Pretty sure it is a roo....looks like "he" is developing a comb. Does it feel like a lump where a comb would be? Usually a pullet would be pretty flat.

Yeah, but nori's was like that too. Ice's looks differenent than Nori and Hachi's has ever looked. Ice's is smooth and flat but Nori's and hachi;s was raised and wrinkly. The babies is pretty bumpy, and she's prepared to find out it's a roo, but hopefully by the time it crows I have a house and can take it. I'm going to give her a toulouse/nori baby too.

That would be me that sold her lol! I put her for auction starting at $50. I was pretty amazed how high it went so in the end I paid the shipping to help offset the sale price.. Sheri has beautiful birds but I had decided not to breed Sizzles and concentrate on my Silkies.

Sherry,it was fun to watch that day! And she was a beautiful example of a SQ sizzles . That auction got Sherri some well deserved attention on the work she has put into that variety. Here in California we have gotten to see her progress.Maybe you could post a picture of the splash you sold. She was lovely
