I have 3 chicks I got from Greenfire Farms
They are all ostensibly 5 weeks old, but perhaps a trifle older as when I got them they had a little feathering already.
The most obvious boy is this one here; already getting his gorgeous hackles in:
The other two - all the same age - are more curious -- are these boys as well? I have my sneaking suspicions they ARE in fact, also cockerels but I am not an expert by any stretch. Would love someone very familiar with the breed to take a look;
Neither one of them are getting any copper on their necks yet. Nor are their combs red/pink nor big in comparison with Oscar, who is so clearly a boy he was showing at 2 weeks old.
But still would love some thoughts if anyone is so inclined - thanks so much for looking!!
