Here "IT" is as 4 weeks

REALLY REALLY thinking roo..

Anyone out there that still believes this to be a pullet? I will keep it until everyone is SURE roo

He's a boy. He'll probably grow up and have LOTS of red color on his chest.

I think Illia had a overly red Wheaten boy, there should be some pictures of him somewhere on this thread.

This is the rooster I'm talking about, from the first page of this thread.

thought id post some of this years birds , i have around 9 new hens this is hens around 4 months old

this hen is around 2 moonths old

this is one of the 4 month olds with what looks like alot of toe feathers but they always fall off when the get older , i think its best to have to much than to little but at 4 months old this is right i think

here is a few chicks 3 roo and a 2 hens

and here are some more ,,, but i have to many roosters 15 i think

Randy, I really like the oldest pullets you have pictured, nice Cape and color. Must be something to do with that good life you live there.

thanks don , i also noticed her darker cape then the other but she still has a normal back color , not to much mohogany, the hen is only 4 or 5 months old and thinghs might change but i hope not .. i will centanly ask for advice and help when it comes to culling the new hens i have , out of the 9 new hens , i will only be keeping 4 or 5 of the best
but that will be in early fall be for i cull a bunch of hens . the 2 oldest hens pictured are a result of breeding the old davis roo over presley hens , iam waiting to see how the younger birds grow out because they are a result of breeding my goodlooking first generation rooster
