I sure hope so. I got 6 and so far 3 of them are cockerels for sure. This baby has a slight, very slight touch of pink every now and then. Which is why I was unsure. Thanks for your thoughts.
I could never kill any of my chickens. I have them for pets with egg benefits. I don't care that they don't lay eggs anymore. They deserve to live out their lives.
When I have new chicks I grind up the chick starter to smaller size pieces and sprinkle it around on a white paper towel near their feed bowl. They go crazy picking and scratching at it.
I have Brahmas, Beilefelders, Isbars, and a Barnvelder. All of them are people friendly. My particular favorites right now are my isbars. They are SO sweet!! One of them is my favorite chicken ever!! Get day old chicks and handle them a lot!
