Cock-a-doodle-dooooooo!


The hatchery fully explains that they can't sex their newborn chicks with 100% accuracy and there's a chance you could end up with a couple roosters in your batch of females.  So I've been watching the birds as they get bigger for signs of a rooster.  This one is looking suspicious.  Check out those tail feathers!  And it's crest is easily twice as big as the other Rhode Island Reds.  We may be hearing some cock-a-doodle-doooooing around here before long...
