I have bantams and brahmas all together since babies..i do have a few bantams that are younger but all ranging 7 and almost 10 weeks. My mild brahma roo hangs out with the d'uccles and my silkie roo.. one big happy flock
I wish mine were as obvious at almost 7 weeks as everyone else's seem to be by 4 or 5 weeks.. i have so many little roos it would be great to have 2 girls but the "boy" was half her size still about 2 weeks ago and now is bigger than her
I'm still up in the air with these 2 neither one has black on the chest, but the one with black coming in all around neck feathered much slower and acts very roo 'esque. I'm hoping at least one is a pullet.. their combs are very similar with suspected male one a little redder
Pullet in front...

Honestly looks like my friends silkie/ bantam partridge cochin cross... great personality and she'll be just perfect for him as a lady companion..
If you're not breeding or showing it doesn't matter but that dude is a fraud.
This guy is a little over 8 weeks old now.. my first and only silkie... all my research has told me it's impossible to sex silkie till they lay or crow, but the head feathers are confusing.. they aren't messy with streamers like I've seen on other roos... any opinion greatly appreciated😊
Mine are between 7 weeks and 1 week old...3 different brooders and i have jersey giants and australorps and it seems like most of my black girls have white tips... my jg cockerel is 3 weeks with zero white feathers.. just a strip of white baby down on the chest
I was losing my mind when i got my random feathered legged bantams trying to figure out the breeds... by the time I figured it out it was the whole "are you a roo" stresses 🤣
Hardest part of having chickens!!
I have 5 OEGB... the 2 girls are bb red but the boys are all different 3rd picture is i believe bb red as well.. he didn't show his comb until 1½ weeks ago... the other 2 I was leaning toward creole but now they are so different from each other I'm stumped. Any help greatly appreciated
My light brahmas.. allegedly 6 pullet one had been very red since about 4½ weeks, very cocky boy... but now the 1 that i we already questioning the past week has a triple pea comb and itty bitty wattles... i ordered 6 more girls and a roo 5 weeks ago not realizing i had 1, and those are 2 weeks...
Does anyone ever try a crow collar? Do they work well enough to keep a rooster in the city limits? I have a handful of roosters since I'm country it doesn't matter, but i feel so bad for you cuz some of my roosters are the sweetest peas. So much personality and they take such good care of their...
