            Being a new breed to me and so little info about them on the net just wondering if anyone could sex them from that pic,I am wondering if the little one on the right is a wee lad he does seem more forward and holds a more upright stance and the head gear is more,well more!

            I was thinking that too LD, you'll soon know if he starts to boss the other one around.

            If he is a cockerell, you'll need more hens for him, if he's only got the one he'll wear her out.

            Sadly if he is a he it will be for the pot or sold on but will need an unrelated sultan cock for next year if i do decide to breed them,undecided yet.He wont get the chance to wear her out tho there are another 30 hens around the corner all rare breeds but i dont want any mixed breeds so he wont get the chance to mingle,
            Hope he will sell to be honest they arnt much good for meat,and if he is a she they dont lay to many either about 100 a year is best i could hope for.
            Here is a piccy of a cock
