Perfect! Thank you!

Ah, thanks. Luckily, that’s not yet been an issue for us (this is the third or fourth year we’ve had chickens with the possibility of a roo to rehome or four). So glad there wasn’t something else I wasn’t aware of! Again, thank you!

Thanks for the tip! We’re definitely not “pros” by any means- these being our first bantams. Is there any particular reason why we wouldn‘t be able to keep them other than the possibility of too many Roos?

Any idea what types of bantams these babies are? (Names courtesy of my 10 yo son 🥰) TIA!

Thank you!!

We recently crossed our barred rock (sire)/buff Brahma cross rooster with a golden cuckoo maran… the two chicks look so different. We suspect the black and white one will be a roo and the other a hen. What do y’all think? Here’s a pic of the chicks with grandma… they’re only 4 weeks old so we’re...

Oooh that’s cool! Thanks!!

About 5-6 weeks I think

We ordered 4 chickens this year, all different and new to us breeds. I’m worried that the silver laced Wyandotte, the speckled Sussex, and the lavender Orpington are roos. However, I’m fairly new to the chickening world, so I’m hoping some of y’all can give me better news... thanks!!

She has yellow legs- so leg color can have shared dominance? I didn’t expect that. It’s a fun surprise!

Our RIR Silver Laced Polish cross looks like it’s going to have green legs.... is that even a possibility or do you think they’ll turn blue?

Our RIR Silver Laced Polish cross (standing on the ground next to mom) looks like it’s going to have green legs.... is that even a possibility or do you think they’ll turn blue?

Thank you!

Those were my suspicions as well, thanks for confirming!

I have no clue if he’s double barred or not. I bought two barred rock chicks from Tractor Supply last year. They twere supposed to be pullets 🤷‍♀️. He’s gorgeous and does an amazing job caring for the hens.
