Re: once again................???
that is not good news. I will give it some time, just in case. I've come to the realization and have accepted my white EE is a roo, not ready for two oopsies yet. haha.

Yep front one looks like a roo,
Our australorps it was easy to tell as the hens have practicaly no comb compared to the roosters
Its pretty easy to solve oopsies like this though.

Re: once again................???
that's just wrong,
is it just the comb, is that why you say that, as when I look at the two siblings, their feather pattern is the same.
I guess it's not terribly bad, he has a home already if he is a roo, and I have a replacement hen, so all is wll.
