Thank you Julie & Juliette.

She is very special to me. Had my 8 year old daughter not swore it came out a certain pen that I knew was impossible to have come from I never would have hatch her. My daughter has a gift and doesn't even know it.

Don't you love how life adds those little twists and turns?

She is beautiful! All egg sells benefit your daughters college fund.

Question

My little bantam buffs are 3 weeks today...
I have 2 that are being really slow to feather
None have obvious roo combs...


About when will I start to notice a difference in their combs?
Is it possible to feather sex them?

Thanks.

Hi! Do you have any pictures of them you can share? Where did they come from? My bantam cockerel tend to feather in a bit slower than my pullets but not always. At three weeks, no I don't think you can really sex yet. I have some now 4-5 week olds in a brooder and am just starting to make some preliminary guesses as to who is who.

I will get my son to go out and help me take some pics after my dr appt. I can't seem to keep them still long enough to remember who I took a picture of and who I didn't

I have 6. They are hatchery chicks from Cackle. I am only just starting with chicks and was planning to get standard BO (didn't even know they had bantams), but couldn't ship them with the silkies and polish that my daughter wanted, so we got the bantams.

I didn't know quite where to post the pics of the babies... I thought it might be better in the What Breed or Gender is This... Didn't want to double post.
If I need to put them here, let me know and I can do that as well.
Thank you in advance...
