Hopefully nothing there would count as streamers.

I’m going with female on this one, it’s a shot in the dark though!

These new pictures are making me more certain that he’s a cockerel.

Oof, yeah, I'm pretty sure you got a cockerel there. I see mulberry in both the wattles and comb.

I'm going to stick with cockerel for now...mostly based on the size of the comb and wattles. I'm not seeing any for sure streamers yet but it is a bit early for them.

THE SAMPLES HAVE REACHED THE LAB!!

Phew! That's a huge relief. Even though it wasn't hard I wasn't looking forward to having to collect and resend everything! Perfect timing too...will probably have the results right around the time I do the final weigh in!

Thanks for being patient with me everybody...there's a water main or something busted down the road so I've been out pumping the water outta my back yard...the ducks and geese are absolutely thrilled with the new pond but the chickens aren't as happy, lol.

There's some out of focus ones. Let me know if you guys want me to redo those...I didn't realize my camera was focused on what was behind the birds instead of the birds in those...

There are definitely some streamers present on some of these guys, so look closely!
Only one more weigh in to go after this one! @EmmaRainboe @RoostersAreAwesome @LynnaePB @charlotte-and-the-bees @Krugerrand @HappyClucker7 @JustAChickenLoverOverHere @Chickeria (let me know if I forgot anyone lol)
