That looks pretty suspicious! Keep an eye out for reddening. That and females don't get comb larger than a small "v" so if you get anything bigger then you've got yourself a boy

I can't really tell what I'm looking at. Can you get a pick of it's fluff parted to show the comb?

Cluck, I got a few photos tonight of Victoria/Victor and Elizabeth. I am thinking I see a comb like jumble of flesh on her head (Victoria) what 'cha think???

How old are they now?

AND in the daylight, if you can. Just cradle them in your hand backwards a bit, they'll be pretty still then. Daylight is the best way to tell. Some of my girls have some crazy looking growth in their comb so that's not necessarily a perfect way to tell either. I think color would be...? But yah, from these shots Victoria might be Victor

Even if I bred my birds for 20 years, I doubt I could come up with something so beautiful! And poor Charlie in his diaper all weekend, I've made his butt feathers all dirty

I just took a picture of Charlie and one of his girls in the coop before the sun went down. The floor looks awful because I give them grass clippings and they don't eat them all, so it looks dark in there. I'm going to be moving them to the other coop soon, so I'm not cleaning it up until then

LOL. They have food all over the place, I noticed the walls near the food bowl are splattered!

Anyway, this shows you the difference between male and female at 19 weeks of age. Hardly show quality of course.

When I showed Rocky the judge said that I would have gotten grand or reserve if his feathers on one part of his neck were full. My uncles hens plucked a spot on him that look horrible so I snatched him away and got him as ready as I could before show. It took about three weeks before they were almost full.

Did you ever take pictures of him? I was scanning back but couldn't find any, did you ever post some? I know I for one would love to see him!!!
