Now Cyn, you looked very nice in that hat you made.
I agree with everything you said about Atlas. Perfection is overrated - he is lovely in addition to his looks.
Thank you, you're a peach.
I was taking photos of the chicks who are 3 1/2 wks old now. In this group, I see one very definite cockerel (naked child with great barring on the few feathers he has, LOL). There are two barred chicks that still appear to be pullets, no pink in the combs. And then there is the petite little black pullet out of Deacon and Sammie Jo-their Dellie colored chick with Aimee is a cockerel, as I suspected all along. That little black girl just begs to be named Gidget by someone. Anyway, the barred chick with Aimee is still looking very pullet-y so if the sexes are correct and a single barred male didn't sneak in through Robin or Wendy, I have a little BR breeding group with a black pullet on the side for good measure.
I may let Maretta's chicks go as one breeding group and pair up the Dellie X chick with the BR pullet as a pair for folks who really don't care that much about all that and just want a couple of healthy birds.
Here are Atlas's son and daughters and Deacon's daughter today.
