UPDATED!! Does He have SADDLE FEATHERS?!?! (pic heavy)

So I am at about 12 weeks into Operation Chicken Eggs and I am about 90% convinced that I actually have all pullets. Please disregard the date on these pictures, my camera reset itself. These were taken earlier today 09/28/10.

If any of you would be so kind as to humor me once again....can I get a pullet/roo vote for my birds?

Thank you

- Twiggy, was a suspected Roo... feathering much more slowly than the others and is about a week younger
- better shot of the tail feathers, going with pullet however. What do you guys think?
- Gertie, I'm sure she's a pullet.
- Betty, I'm sure she's a pullet.
- Gertie (front), Betty (not front) These two are the big bosses of the flock.
- Estelle, I'm sure she's a pullet. She is the third in command.
- Lizzie Borden, I'm sure she's a pullet. And very hard to get a good picture of.
- Just for fun. Giving Gertie her pets. She <3's them. ^.^

Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks again

 

Yeah. So far no one I've asked can gimme a definite. XD Poor Twiggy. Just seems like he/she is growing and feathering out so much more slowly than the others. And his/her comb and wattle started getting pink kind of early too... No crowing by any of them yet. Time will tell I guess.

 

He/she seems to be a bit different-looking than the others. But he/she doesn't act like a rooster either- not flighty but not bold either.

Dunno. This is so funny. XD

Oh and one ques- probably in the wrong forum but the guy at the feed store said I should continue to feed them chick/starter food until they are full-sized or they won't grow.
Is this true? Or should I switch them to regular feed?

I kinda want large birds.


Thanks again.

 

These look like saddle feathers to me! Got some good pics! I think I have a roo!!! YAY!

- Look! Aren't these saddle feathers?


- maybe some of the more trained eyes can tell me if he's starting to develop those longish neck-feathers too?

I hope he's a Roo.
Thanks again for any feedback
