In the words of a well-known Aussie - can you tell what it is yet?

Epic at 6 weeks

(now 7.5 weeks, the cheeks have also fluffed out!)

[Catsmuvva]

... and here s/he is, supervising my browsing

[Catsmuvva]

... and here with his/her new best friend, Jake!

Epic is very pretty, and hasn't quite got the cockerel stance yet, but comb and wattles getting bigger!

[Catsmuvva]

Well, here he is at 12 weeks - for he is most definitely a cockerel!

If the picture isn't enough, then you should hear him! He hasn't got the hang of the cockadoodledoo yet, sounds more like someone trying to start an old banger with a dodgy starter & a low battery       but I get the full brunt of it as he still comes into the front room at night - the girls won't let him in their house and Patches & her brood are in the other quarters for the time being. I really must get that sorted.....

what a handsome chappie 

[GrannieAnnie]

Awww, he is lovely!  Are you keeping him?

[Catsmuvva]

Oh yes!!   

[GrannieAnnie]

Awww, good!  Too many lovely cockerels have to be culled because people can't keep them! 

[bantam novice]

Handsome fellow! 

[Bev]

Is he a Welsummer? He looks a bit like one of my unknowns! He is very nice!

[Casey76]

He is a handsome chap

[Catsmuvva]

My thanks to the Epic Appreciation Society - yes, he is rather gorgeous!   

Bev, I don't know about his dad but mum was almost certainly an Araucana as he came from a blue egg (unless from a hybrid, then more likely Skyline), all I know for certain is he's a Bitza! The little topknot & exploding cheeks are a puzzle though   

[joyfull]

no puzzle at all - they are from the araucana part
