I was a little skeptical at first as to whether they are Minorcas or not, after looking at pics of the breed, I found that they are indeed minorcas, they have a lot more white on them then it shows in the picture, and a Large white patch on the wings. I have had experience with PR's in the past...
didn't really notice it until I started looking at the birds a lot, I thought it was one of the PRs, but it is extremely different. It is small, but I have no experience with bantam... So its a standard to me.
with a standard PR, although bad shot because the PR wasn't cooperating

I just got an slew of chicks from MM. 8 or so hen PRs and 5 males... they gave me an extra rooster... isn't that nice?
But I was wondering if you can sex them by color? such as a barred rocks head spot. Also, do they vary in color grately? Some are chocolate brown, and some are light brown...
now he has been venturing up to his coop at night, he only comes in the day and plays around. That PR rooster is gorgeous! How are the roosters? temperment and such.
I ordered some 25 chicks on friday, first time ever from a hatchery. I asked for 4 PR roosters as I am splitting the order with a family friend/coach. Do hatcheries mark the roosters so I know which ones he gets?
I actually don't mind him at all, more the idea of him. THe only thing is I have an order of chicks coming at the end of april and eventualy, hopefully, I will have a PR rooster
Thanks for the advice!
My flock of 6 hens have been in complete anarchy since Humper, my rooster died in the winter. For the passed copuple of weeks, our neighbors barred rock rooster has been coming down to vist which wasn't a problem. Now he is down here everyday, eating my hens food and water, and even worse LIVING...
