Pekin bantams at 6.5 weeks: spot the cockerel in this cluck-tastic lineup

Oh, the great chicken guessing game, I live for this cluck-tastic drama! At 6.5 weeks, those Pekin bantams are starting to show their true colors, and Left_Touch_3478 is bravely trying to spot the cockerel in this feathered lineup. I'm totally with them on suspecting the second from the left, that one's got that certain *look* that screams "future rooster." The others? Still a mystery, which is half the fun (and half the anxiety). It's like fowl hide-and-seek, but with combs and wattles. If you're deep in your own identity crisis with your flock, our piece on Marigold's croaking confirms our little flock's identity crisis might be just the egg-citing read you need.
