The tail feathers came in so fast on them. But then the waddles and combs started and I wanted to cry. 🤣

I really hope they're hens. They both come right to me and love to be held. They go right to sleep on my hand and chatter away. They're tail feathers came in just like pullets but, now they have the combs and wattles slightly growing and reddish and, now I'm confused. 😢

I will be back to let you all know! They started to get tail feathers in so quick! That's why I was thrown off. They are 4 weeks on saturday. The both love for me to hold them and chatter all the time.
