I hate to jump in the tail end of a thread, but nobody has mentioned the white neck ring. My Rouens generally get the neck ring after first molt, before the green head or the curl on the tail. I've never had a hen with a neck ring, but that could be the cross breeding, I guess. Still, I'd vote drake. Please let us know how it turns out.

I have a similar setup. Rhodes behind Hollies. That gives color in the winter and late may early June. I am going to add Blue Hydrangeas and some low + slow growing golden evergreens to that bed this spring, summer or fall - whenever I can find THE plants to fit the bill. The golden color will match with the Blue Hydrangeas which should kick in a few weeks after the last rhode blossoms fall, well, that is the plan anyway :-) The trick will be to deal with the pH ....

Well, there is no way I would post a picture of my kids' bathroom on the internet, LOL!, but we went with monkeys (it seemed appropriate). I found very cute monkey bath mat, hand towels, soap dispenser, and waste basket at Linens N Things. They also had a cute shower curtain, but we didn't need it. Each kid has their own stepstool in front of their sinks -- you can get them with storage inside or without, and can either paint their names on or have their names painted. They each have their own towels and toothbrush holders to their liking. For non-guest bathrooms, I like to keep the color white/creamy white because it provides better light for getting ready. This keeps the room pretty neutral. We haven't remodeled the bathroom yet, but the POs used a pretty neutral creamy faux marble countertop and off-white tiles on the floor and in the tub, so there's nothing that screams GIRL or BOY. Eventually, we'll put in some nicer fixtures and surfaces, but I'm still going to keep the colors very much white, cream or tan. In our last house, we went with a fairly adult looking hall bathroom and hid the kids' bath toys behind the curtain.

Oh, WOW! Congrats on all those little ones coming at the same time! My boy&girl twin grankids just turned 6 and it's being SUCH an experience seeing from day 1 that he's "such a boy" and she's "such a girl" even though they're the same age & raised by the same parents. The "twin thing" is soooo special (they have an older brother and sister.) They had their own language before they were speaking ours, and they cooked up an escape plan when they were barely one (talking in their "language" for a while before they both bolted in opposite directions while this Grandma was watching them. . . .) And then you throw their same-aged cousin into the mix. . . .It's gonna keep you on your toes!
