Ronnie at 10 wks. Guess I need to stop living in denial, lol.

I would really prefer for @Starrponies to be correct, but I’m still thinking cockerel, too. Although I’m less confident than I was a couple weeks ago.

Ronnie now (8 weeks).

I hope you’re right! We decided we’re keeping him regardless, but I’d still prefer a hen. If Ronnie is a roo and a nice bird, we’re going to set up a small breeding flock for him. But I’m not 100% set on breeding silver Barnies, so I’m like a hen and then I can keep be indecisive about what I...
