another chicken update

I've posted a few new photos of our chickens. We took close-ups of Cookie, the all black one, because we thought she might be a cockerel (that's a young rooster). Wendy read that Australorp cockerels had pointed neck feathers which Cookie seems to have. However, cockerels also develop larger combs than pullets (a young hen). We now think that Cookie is probably a pullet, but the verdict is still out.
These photos were taken on October 2, when the chickens were about three months old. We hope to start getting eggs sometime this coming month.
