Miss Ugly the EE.

I believe Miss Ugly is a Mr.

Bathroom looks great BTW.

That is what I have been thinking! I have be getting mixed opinions so we will wait. If she is a he, then she will be dog food. I don't need a crooked faced roosters running around making damn ugly babies.

How old is the chick? With that comb which has obvious three rows and is already quite large I'd bet it's a boy. Although black/white EEs tend to be harder to sex too. I didn't even notice the slight cross beak at first.

Hes not very old. Born Sept 19th. With my luck, he will be a roo and I'll have to cull the ugly thing. Poor bird.

With that large and prominent of a comb at 5 weeks old, yep that's a cockerel. I've had the EE cockerels we ended up with showing that early. At least you'll get some use from him as dog food.

Well...I got 3 cayuga ducks last saturday. Pretty sure one is a drake

Also, I am picking up 2 Angora goats this evening.

Busy, busy!!

I love Angora goats!! I want some one day.

Busy, busy!!

Yes we are!

Here they are. They were meant for dog food but Drew likes them and wants to keep them for lawn mowers for a while...

Guido is the one with laid back horns and Tuffy has more vertical ones.

They both need a shearing like LAST year! Holy moley. We will probably be doing that this weekend

Best thing about these guys is that they have inspired Drew to get more involved with the farm animals. He actually did the bird count last night AND shut up the barn. Then this morning he asked if I wanted him to put the goats out.
