Pop Quiz: How many boys and/or girls?!

Post by L in Ontario » Wed Aug 24, 2011 6:01 pm

I bought a creamino hen last winter. She will be a year old in October... time to line up my juvenile Shafts and try to figure out who will be her lucky mate. If I have any males in this group - they will be split to creamino.

So... what do you think - do I have ANY males in here at all. I'm posting a lot of pics all taken tonight as (to me) their bib sizes change depending on their stance. Crouched, they look big and wide. Standing tall, the bibs seem a little smaller. Help! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Liz, they are all so beautiful!!!

I would take her and put her into a cage with them one at a time. I promise you if they are males, the singing will begin. :lol:

My little pair of siblings that just had two babies.... :oops: the male has been singing from the get go and the cream never did sing. I was convinced it was a male even though it didn't sing. That shaftie singing is a dead give away!! Good luck! =D> =D>
