Aw, shucks! At least you found a good home, though!

I'm sorry you did have to give away your sweet little boy, but it is great you found a loving home for him

Thank you both! Yes, such a bummer. Would not have ever had a SR if it wasn’t for getting myself into trouble being a pasty butt to clean up from TSC. Live and learn. Still excited to see how these babies turn out!

What a cutie! I think male, too.

Isn't anybody going to give me some love for a pullet?

I think I keep being guilty of seeing what I want to be there ... a V-comb and a somewhat horizontal body. I keep telling her to think girly thoughts. Maybe I should paint the brooder box pink?

She's starting to feather out in the head ... I'll watch for those steamers. (and cut them off if they show up! )

Honestly, I don't even know. I could see both sexes in your bird. My meter's just leaning more towards male at the moment.

Little baby boy is going to his new farm on Sat. Got some consolation chickens though, DNA sexed female. If anyone wants some more comparison photos for the thread. (Plus just cute baby pics.)
