Is Tess a Rooster...?

[lurky]

Hey....wait a minute

I just noticed imloulou's birds legs......they dont look like the rest of our wyondottes

I wonder why that is

Maybe someone with more experience will know.

I might be misunderstanding, but I think imloulou's pics are of a Hamburg, not a Wyandotte...we got talking about Wyandottes because of my worries.

Oh.......Funny how that happens here

UPDATE:

COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!!!!!

She (yes I am still calling him a she...lol!!!) crows every morning bright and early. We cannot give her...uh...him up yet. We just love hearing her pathetic little Cock-a-doodle-doo. It really is pathetic right now...he is struggling to get a real one out.

Just thought I would give an update to our little "Is Tess a rooster?" adventure.

Thanks for all the advice along the way

My hamburg, Patty, hehe, is 7 weeks and your hamburg's comb is A LOT more pink than mine- sorry, I think he's a roo!

sorry, didn't see the update!

Ok...one more update...just in case anyone who has a Mystery Chick from McMurray and it happens to be a Silver Spangled Hamburg...and you are wondering.....

This is what a Roo looks like !!
(see beginning photos to see progression):

We are going to keep him...he is just too darned pretty!!!
I will post one more once he is full grown...

imloulou,

Our free mystery chick from MMH is also a SSH cockeral (3 months old come Monday). He's bigger than all of our Banties but he is the most laid back guy in the bunch. He was going to be freezer fodder originally but he's won my heart over and now I'd love to find him some girlfriends. So glad DH puts up with me!!!

I'm glad our neighbors are ok with it....so far at least! Tess is BEAUTIFUL!
He has iridescent feathers that look like a peacock. Here he is again:

He is REALLY stunning! Are you going to keep calling him TESS? (could be short for Testosterone)
