I would say pullet---Should crow if it was a boy by now. EEs will get wattles and white ones usually get red on the wings. I so not see hackle feathers either. I hope you get some pretty eggs soon!

Agree with Ron.

Looks like she is almost at POL. Pretty girl.

Got the new roof on the small coop yesterday. It took us three days. I spent most of the day yesterday up topside getting the metal screwed down after DH passed sheets up to me. As the coop is small I was the logical volunteer to do the up on the roof work and by the end of yesterday I was feeling pretty much like a toasted marshmallow and today I'm pretty much beat so I'm taking the day off.

I did get the PVC feeder up and running. I even took a picture which I need to get downloaded. This feeder is unique in that my husband is into 3D printing and printed the elbow for me in two pieces so i can rotate them until they gravity feed properly. I've had to do some adjustments on it but so far so good.

Hope everyone has a relaxing Labor Day.

Thanx, guys. I was wondering because it's bigger than most of its hatchmates.

Sounds like wine is a recurring theme. It is therapeutic you know.

Beautiful work you do there extremely talented

Downright stunning. All the curves seem pretty much perfect, really hard to believe you're doing this by hand.

How long did that one take you to do?
