Was able to catch and hold Subaru just now. Wanted to see if they were wet, but it's black feathers

And yeah the top curvy feathers we weren't using as a judge per se only because part of them looked broken and figured that was why.

Lol we are waiting patiently lol the other pullets from this hatch still have super pale combs, and this one is in between the pullets and our known roos on size and color lol

No only one of the other two that we know are cockerels are so that's not necessarily an indicator for this individual, sorry if that was confusing

We just went through hell week of broodies. Four different black Australorps decided to test the waters last Monday and Tuesday. Then last Thur two of our olive eggers and our Mama on Saturday (good Orpington we let hatch twice). All BAs were back out by Friday, I think, and Goldie and Mama...
