Without pulling or disturbing the carrots is there a way to tell when they are ready? Looking for a small to medium carrot worth using. Early Nantes planted 10/4

I have to plant mine again, as the blasted pidgeons have eaten them all! Mine will be ready by Christmas as well if I am lucky. >:(

Carefully brush the soil from around the top,you can tell how big they are by the circle of orange that you can see...the top of the carrot.
