Red on the wing bows is normally a rooster thing.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Still want it to be a pullet those cheek puffs are great

 

[mixedbreeds]

I would say no way unless there is a different mailman involved

 

[pennyJo1960]

it really does have these great cheek puffs I swear
unless it is absolute jerk I guess I will raise him

 

[Hinotori]

I just cant deal with jerks. I have too many nice roosters.

My silkie/ameraucana rooster isn't friendly, but he's not aggressive at all. Actually he's pretty paranoid. If I call his name he runs away because he thinks I'm going to pick him up. Once I have him he resigns himself and sits calmly. I think the paranoia is good. He really watches everything and warns the girls.

He's such a cutie. I rather like the cross breeds in their look. The pullets are absolutely adorable. Both parents have beards so they are fluffy.

let me see if I can get a good photo of his cheeks I could only hope he passes those to peeps

Beard gene is semi-dominant. One copy gives small beard, two gives big full beard.

I heard peeping and about freaked out. Someone managed to hide an egg from me. Three evil hens attacked me when I tried to grab it.

They make for a fluffy shell game. Which hen has the chick?
