More barring! on Thor!











WOW Great photos
these photos screams girl for sure.
sex has nothing to do with when their spurs come in.

All my peas hatched between may 28th and july 18th and every one of the males have a very blue green neck and barring , and yours should also and it ain't even close. sorry






This is a photo of my first peas around 5 months of age back in 2010, only one turned out to be a male, he is a daddy now

Spur bumps do show on both sexes but males develop them first. Calypso doesn't have any bumps but Thor does on his right leg and he has developing a barring pattern on his wing now. Females sometimes have barring on the train. Females that have spurs are usually 2 years or older.
Not true here, i have a pied hen that never got spurs or bumps, and the once that have spurs started getting them around 5 to 6 months.
 
These pieds were hatched on 6/3 2013.

You stated that thor is just now getting some barring but it has been my experence that male IB chick never loose their barring per say they just get a different kind of barring, even the adult barring will be different, where as a female will molt off to a solid with some lacing a bit up the back and over the tail and some on the wings.

Also you should be seeing bigger spur bumps starting on Thor compared to the said hen
You're the one that told me Thor would have bigger spur bumps compared to a hen say Calypso. Calypso doesn't have any bump indicating a spur. When I got Colbolt he had spur bumps as for Jadea she had no spur bump until she was 2 years old. You're Pied male that is 6 months has a spur while the females got a spot where the spur will come in but no bump.
 
Spurs will usually be in for both sexes around 2 years old. Sometimes females will not have any while males should or they got them sawed down.
