Still pretending I have pullets...

[pbjmaker]

Ok here are the two chicks I kept now 7 weeks old

The first one I am pretty sure is an RIR that was supposed to be a pullet.
Thick legs, cracking voice like a boy in puberty, and sometimes gives a silent crow, play fights with the other one...
Roo???

Here is Cooper who was supposed to be a Roo. He started ugly but I think he is getting quite handsome now
Although his comb and all the red scream Roo - he is very slim body and has legs about half the size around as the RIR. I was just chalking that up to a breed difference.

So what do you all think?

#1 is def. a hen.

#2 looks like a hen, but possibly a rooster.

I would say the RIR is a pullet... a lot of yellow in the comb still, and it's still small..... They ALL do that kind of playing and the silent crow is probably her just clearing her throat or something... not crowing

No clue on #2.

The RIR (Cupcake) is definately the boss of the two. When there is danger Copper sounds off a peeping alarm and then tries to hide under Cupcake. I absolutely adore his spazzy personality. Someone thought he was probably a Polish X.

S/he only does that "silent" crow when we sit and crow at him/her. Maybe she is just trying to respond in some way...
