Was my TSC Buff Orpington purchase a roo-fest?

Wilma or Willy?



Pruda or Pauly?



Alice or Big Al?

2 weeks ago I made a trip to TSC and was jazzed that they had BO. The guy scooped up 3 chicks and off I went, also with 3 Red Pullets. When I got home I remembered that $1.99 meant straight run. Take a guess at what I got if you can. Alice is the smallest but energetic, Wilma is very large and is vying for rule of the brooder with a Red Production chick named Leila. Pruda is feathered pretty good and her tail seems to be coming in nicely.

I think Al ready has waddles...hmm. Waddles are my tell all on the orps

That's Alice/Al. That's what I thought too. Last one to get feathers and is really mouthy. Also, if I go to get him/her out of the brooder the skrawny little thing will turn around and try to peck me.

Well it appears that overnight ya'll's ID was confirmed- or at least it seems that way. I took the chicks out for some sun and scratchin' and in the bright morning sun there "HE" was. Alice's/Al's comb ridges were more orange than the other 2 BO. not only that, when I went to transfer him from the carrier to the make-shift pen outside- pecked me! I guess it will still take time, but my scrawny little Alice with pasty butt and a plucky disposition, is now BIG Al, man of the coop.
