The Obvious Question
 | Buff Orpington, about 9 weeks old tomorrow. We have seven other chickens, and we're fairly certain they're all hens (rounded saddle feathers, small, pale combs, no spur growth, etc.) However, this one is a little more red around the comb, and it's saddle looks a bit more disheveled than our other buff. I'm still leaning towards hen, but wanted to get y'all's thoughts. Am I really lucky enough to get eight hens in a straight run? (P. S: Ignore my bad poke-and-stick tattoo. Bad decisions were made, and I plan to get it covered up eventually.) [link] [comments] |
