What are we? ***PIC heavy***

[GreenGoddess]

Ok... I figured I would wait a few weeks.. These babies are now old enough to have significant differences... They were supposed to be RIR but I can now see they are not pure... Maybe y'all can help me in what they are mixed with too?

Ok.. Here is Clucky.. the oldest of the bunch at 17 weeks

These are the younger babies... They are all 9 weeks old...

This is Turkey (named because during the ugly duckling stage he (or she) looked just like a little turkey.. lol Turkey is also the only one who does not have a tail yet...

Here is my little sweetie Speckles...

And here are the other two.. They don't have names yet... Sorry...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hmm... Anyone want to chime in one sex? I am thinking Turkey is a roo and the others are hens... Anyone agree? Disagree?

I think Clucky is a roo- look at that big tail!

Clucky has a large tail but she took the the young ones unlike any roo I've ever known... When we got them, Clucky was 2 months and the babies were 4 days old... She would put her wings over them to keep them warm at night and took care of them.. Yes, we kept them all outside, no heat lamp or special amenities... She would only peck at them once in a while but never "picked on" the little ones... Please don't tell me Clucky is a roo... We are soooo looking forward to eggs SOON!! LOL

I think Clucky is a roo and so is Turkey. My NN roo was younger than my seramas, but would let them sleep under his wings. When he died, the seramas were still under him

Ok.. I found a pic of Clucky when (s)he was the same age as Turkey (2 months).. Neither have tails at that age but Turkey's waddles and comb are VERY prominent whereas Clucky's were not...


This is Clucky at 2 months of age

And this is Turkey at 2 months of age

Still think they are both roos? (fingers crossed... hope not!!) LOL
