what brabanter roo should I keep?

I dont know anything about brabanters but they sure are cute.

I will post new pictures of them in a month. I can't risk selling off hens by mistake if I am going to have a little flock of them.

Thanks for the help.

How old are these babies? Can you pull back their feathers on their heads around their combs? The guys start showing their 2 horns alot sooner than the gals. I had this discussion a while back when I was contemplating taking some for free at a swap. The gal getting rid of them thought they were 3 roos. I ended up with a trio.

All have had the feathers pulled back, there are no combs going on with any of them. They were hatched June 16th so they are nearly 3 months old..

I would think that if these were roos you would be seeing the horns by now. You may have pullets. I would keep them, were I you. Ours are so funny. Everyone that comes to the farm loves the look of these chickens the best. Good luck! If I have a chance I will post mine later.

^^ That would be great.
Yes, I thought they would have some kind of horn/comb my now, but they have nothing. I have caught each one and checked.

I am reading posts from my profile. I am a newbie, but I am guessing my Creme Brabanter Roo is not too bad. Here is a pic of him at 1 year old (born May 15th 2008). I will try to post another soon.

He looks good to me. It turned out I only had one roo after all. I sold all of mine to another member here and he likes them very much.

Oh! you need them back-LOL!

No, I need to focus on my mission.

Quality egg production with my son.

Anyway, I am sure AJ (Playswithfowl) will be selling eggs and doing very well with his breeding program with them.
