To Eat, Or Not To Eat?

[skeleroo]

That is the question...

I have lots of chickens about ready for the dinner table. I think I've got a good feel on who is a boy and who is a girl, but I wouldn't mind a second (or third, fourth...) opinion. Also, if you have an idea as to what kind of chickens I have I'd love to know!

Thanks

1. Rooster. Which is sad because he’s really neat looking.
2. Group picture. Didn’t mean to post it but I did it twice.

You have a lot of chicken dinners there! I only see 3 pullets - the Wyandotte, the EE and the buff Orpington.

Do you think the gold laced chicken is a roo? I thought I had mostly boys. I wish I had more girls!

Isn't he fantastic? I have two that look exactly the same. They've got to be over ten pounds. I was told when I bought them as chicks they were jersey giants but they don't look like any I've ever seen.
