Look at her in the first photo by herself. Those feet look pretty pink, no?

So would a BSL boy have pink feet as well or...

They're RIR rooster over Barred Rock, so most commonly they'll have yellow legs/feet.

But there maybe Black Sex-links made with Cuckoo Marans instead, out there too.

Ah. So I probably shouldn't try to call breed on this one until it grows up, right?

I'd give about 12 weeks, if not 16.

Soon I'll be hatching some chicks. Chicks for a friend, 4 EEs, 3 Silkies, & 4 Random mixed breeds. But I gotta finish up with the breeding portion before I collect the eggs for hatching though.

Same.
I'm actually going to place 6 silkie eggs, so I can keep back a few grow outs.

Never had turkeys before. Planning on maybe getting some goslings once the ducklings get bigger though.

Red is a Pet Heritage Turkey. A Bourbon Red. We would like to get her a boyfriend someday.

We had plans on getting Geese, but decided to get turkeys again. Someday we'll have a Thanksgiving Goose, instead of a Turkey.

Updates!

Grayson is becoming very nice-looking. Clean, crisp barring (black on light gray), nice red comb and wattles that are growing well, and definite yellow skin. In that picture I showed you his skin looked pink. But now it's very much yellow. I'll get a picture. I'd be comfortable calling him a Barred Plymouth Rock.
