The bachelor game with Fry pan bargain

[gimmie birdies]

she has feathers, just fuzz on head still.

To the people worried about Peawee, I took her pic tonight. 4 weeks old she was supposed to be a boy sent with the frypan but hopefully a girl... look at the little comb.View attachment 1657682

A little early to tell. Is Peewee one of the Buff Orps? They can be slower to mature than others. I had some BO cockerels that showed almost immediately and others that had me guessing until 20 weeks.

Thanks Rae! Pea wee was little from the start. For a little chick seems to have alot of spirit. I am going to look forward to playing the boy girl game, some of the boys are really announcing comb wise!

Here is Peawee today, and

below is her brother the same breed.

Difference in comb growth doesn't mean much at this age. The one with red in his comb is almost definitely male. The other one is still a tossup.

I have pics of all 32 chickens. 26 of which were the fry pan bargains I will post them so you can peek 4 weeks old with names.... (please note:THEY DON'T NORMALLY STAND ON NEWSPAPER, I just didn't want poop on my table. ---I put this note in here because some people might preach...) their heads still have baby fuzz, bodies are fully feathered, but these are mostly head shots, they move around a bit so not all are good pics, but you can still see comb. I am # them too so if you have a comment you can mention which number pic it may be. I am putting up the known boys first, and poss breeds. If they look glum it is prolly because they don't like posing.

Lily looks lighter in color, I hope she is not a boy. but from it looks like if I am right about the birds I am right about I got a few girls out of the fry pan, I am not going to hold my breath too much. but I am happy so far, and all the chicks are friendly.

I think Tom and Maynord may be girls too.

 

[gimmie birdies]

Oh thanks, I am just hoping Now the welsummers with more girly looks have the darker brown heads. I could use more welsummers!

A nice family called they are hard workers but on the poor side, they left a message, and wanted to know if I had roosters for them, I think I may offer 10 of the fry pans, (the ones with the big combs,) but I may wait until they don't need heat.

One thing that would be nice about that, even if I give away 10, I will still have some roosters to play bachelor game with with out being overwelmed with so many roosters.

That is the idea behind the meal makers.

That sounds like a nice thing to do! If you wait until they don't need heat, you'll probably have your favorites picked out.
