The Old Folks Home

Are you getting all pullets, or getting a cockerel too? For those who don't know, they are sexable at hatch by their down coloring.

My Bielefelders are my friendliest birds.
8 pullets and 3 boys. Yes they are auto sexing like the legbars we raise. Same color patterns in chicks and adults in the two breeds. I have a couple dozen home grow pullets that will be paired with 2 of the extra Bielefelder boys.
 
And pretty too. Good morning, OF.
I'm sure all the roosters will have eyes for them....

Late yesterday afternoon when we turned out the Legbar coop which is 8 hens, 1 rooster, & 1 less than 2 month old cockerel we watched the little cockerel try to mount a 2 month old Legbar pullet from another flock that was out for recess. He courted that little pullet for half an hour and all she wanted was to feed on tender grass and greens. That little cockerel is barely weaned from his mom.
 
Ah nice morning here I managed to sleep in.
Son was up he said I was not in bed when he let pugs out.
So morning have to I guess.
Then I had breakfast after the hot shower I needed.
