I'm eyeing Rosie nervously these days. She has developed a little baby comb, which Wyandottes should not have at all. Does this mean she is a rooster? Does it mean she isn't purebred? I don't care if she is a "mutt," but I'll be sad if it turns out Rosie is actually a rooster. I can't eat her. No way.
And might I add- one of the Rockettes is distinctly more "butch" than the other. Biggie, as I call her, is plumper, taller, thicker through the legs and toes, more aggressive at grabbing treats, and a lot more curious. Does this mean she's a rooster? Eeeeek!!
As for the Polish- who knows? They are such weirdos. Pria is more curious, talkative and active while Beldar is a bit bigger, more shy, and maintains a more ridiculous hairdo. Beldar stubbed one of his little toes yesterday and it is all bruised up- so pitiful on a teeny weeny little punk chick.
Only time will tell. One thing we know, though. One of the chicks is gonna look like this;

Ruh roh. Yeah, I'd be worried about one or more of them being roosters, too. Of course, if you had one rooster, that means you could get some really cool mutt breeds of chicken. Are you sure you don't secretly really want that?
I'm sure I don't secretly want to keep a rooster. Roosters are loud and frequently aggressive. I will be sad when I figure out which are roosters- it is quite unlikely that I have all girls. Precisely a 13.25% chance, actually, of all girls. Much much more likely is that I have one rooster in the group.
