Who else has sweet Sicilian Buttercups? If not you have to get some!

I totally love the color of green the have for legs and feet, too!!

Mine also had non-existent combs, practically, to start. I asked about dome differences between my two a while back, and Miss_Jayne kindly showed some pics of her juvenile Buttercups- the color differences between the sexes is not yet obvious at a young age, so you may indeed have a roo, after all. And I may, also, despite mine having been deemed pullets...one has a comb starting to redden.

Anyone near me should bear in mind I can't have roos unless they're silent...you might get to adopt mine?

what color eggs do they lay??

I have one that I HOPE is a pullet!

She's very flighty though... cute but I cant get near her. I did get some mealworms today though.. so that may change

Henderson's chart says white, although it also says they're supposed to have yellow legs and feet!! Feathersite says willow green legs. It doesn't mention egg color...ask me in 6 months?

I just wanted to show another picture. I am very proud of these guys. I sure hope one of them is a male cause I would love to breed them.

If I lived closer he'd be mine! I would love to have baby butters. The only roos I have are golden laced and polish. Oh man. What a looker if mine go broody.

Polish-buttercup mix.

Mine are starting to get bigger combs just now. Little cups on their heads.

They should start laying soon. I hope.

They like to get in the nest and sit so maybe they are practicing.

I have 2 older hens. They were wild and flighty when I first got them but now they love to follow me around when I am outside. I love those girls. I am getting them a rooster this weekend!

Mine like treats! A LOT! I think that is one reason they are so lovey. Begging the treat lady!

 

[farmgirlie1031]

Mine used to be where the only way to catch them was a net. Now I can just walk up to them and scoop them up

I am so excited that after a 30 day quarantine for the roo I will be able to have some purebred chicks out of them. They love it when I bring down treats to the barn.
