The Pita Pinta Asturiana

They are nice looking boys!

I'm having slight doubts about Pepper being a boy but its probably just because Salt's comb and wattles are larger. However Pepper spars more often with Snowball (my Delaware boy)
Salt is the only one of the outside boys making any crowing attempts though.

They are both cockerels then. The one not crowing is submissive to the one crowing. He will crow though.

Yep, both boys. Cute little guys though!

Speaking about cute little guys, these two do not let the Partridge Penedesencas boss them around, even though they are much younger.

Quite a bit more white in them than mine. Do they have spotted legs?

The spots come a bit later. They need another molt and will have more black feathers.

I am going to work on making sure the legs are not knock kneed and work towards more white feathers. I have a couple of older ones too. I will work on getting more pictures soon.

Mine are 12 weeks and have leg spots and have for some time

These guys are close to 8 weeks.

I will check on the leg spots tonight. The parents all have leg spots so They should too.
