Yeah I think you are right....Athena/Achiles is a def! Juno's comb just turned pink yesterday it's an OE and I'm not really sure what is she mixed with...so I'm holding hope a little longer.....Minerva I started suspecting last week since her/his comb is larger than the other older RIR....

The good news is that taking 3 outs will make room for chick's in the sun Marrans...now I may need to find another OE ugh!!!!

Thanks for the help ZOO!
 
You might be right, Zoo. I'd give Juno and Minerva a few more weeks before calling the shot, but Athena is definately a boy. I have a weird mystery pullet in the first batch of chicks I hatched that I'm not sure I'll keep. She was supposed to be a Sumatra, and everyone on that thread says she isn't. Her coloring is really pretty. She'd be the same age as yours, so let me know if you are interested. (Still not sure if I might want to keep her - I'm thinking on it).

The first two are definately roo's, I'd say. But I'm not sure on the others. None of them really have very pronounced combs, and even though Thalia kind of has some suspicious hackle feathers, she just looks like a pullet to me. Wait a few more weeks on the rest. I'll see you on Saturday with the first two?
 
Awesome photos and gorgeous chickens!!! I've been taking photos every few days of our flock because they just grow so dang fast - incredible! But they also develop their personalities so much, too. Wonderful creatures!

Also, Diana looks just like our Dragon as a chick! Super excited if she turns out anywhere near as lovely as Diana has!
