I bought 4 Buff Brahama pullets or so I thought. They were all the same size now at 4 weeks old one is so much bigger and taller than the others and is kind of aggressive towards the others. Could this one be a roo?

I have 5 baby silkies chicks 3 weeks old. I was able to put 2 of them with one of my hens and the other 3 I have had to hand raise. Of the 3 I believe 2 of them may be Roos and one a hen based on how they are acting. The 2 Roos are flapping their wings, hiking their necks up and flapping...
someone dumped 3 roosters in my yard. I have 4 hens and these boys are chasings and raping my girls violently. will they seriously hurt them? i am waiting on animal control to come get them but it may take time.
HELP. will the roosters hurt my hens?
These two are 3-4 months old and no crowing.... I was told they were roosters in a previous forum. Now I am not so sure, they don't have big combs. Some of my hens have larger and the big rooster (father) does chase them off. Any ideas? They were both hatched by my 8 year old hen...

Hello! We got 9 pullets in the spring... then found out we had 7 pullets and 2 cockerels.
With the possibility of getting a third rooster specifically for breeding some time soon (this was planned from the beginning but we thought we had no roosters at the time), and not nearly enough hens or...
Need to know if our chickens are roos or hens. We cannot have roos in the city we live in. If anyone can tell by these pictures it would be super helpful.
Two Houdan roosters in Pierce County, Nebraska. I will travel up to an hour to meet or I can meet you in my town. I can go to Yankton, SD, Sioux City, IA, etc.
The reason I am giving them away, is because I would like to expand my Rooster Flock and my Houdans hate new roosters. They're very...
Hello all. This might sound like a hard to believe thread, but wanted to ask anyway. I incubated 48 quail eggs and 35 hatched and 2 didn't make it so I have 33 happy quail now at three weeks of age and outside in a pen. The problem is our of the 33 left I only see maybe 2 male and even they...
Our favorite baby chicken is crowing. He is a little guy, and has been fine with all normal size hens. One his age, the rest three years old. I thought his cute personality was because he’s the first and only Bantam I’ve owned. All black with cute fuzzy feet. He is the first to get the bugs, and...
We have three Roos from a straight run that will be 13 weeks June 20, 2018. They started crowing the week of May 13th. In the city limits of Hillard we are not aloud to have Roosters. Sad to say we can not keep them and they need a new home very soon.
Up until they started crowing they free...
I have read a few facts on chicks and there sexing and growing ways I was just wondering if these are true or not!
1) female chicks feather more quickly
2) females have rounded feathers round there necks whilst the males have pointed ones
3) rounded eggs = females
Pointed = males
4) males...
Hi,
I’m a newbie to backyard chickening, and I spend most of my time chillin’ with my chickies... 2 red star hens Rayleen and MaryJean (they are 2 years old and laying lots of eggs) and 3 (yes, I beat the odds of probability) silkie Roos (about 2 years old) and 1 sizzle frizzle Roo. I got the...
I purchased a mixed flock of chicks from TSC on April 1, at which point they should have been no less than 4 days old (but possibly older??).
My two "sexed Welsummer Pullets" are developing at vastly different rates and in another thread many thought the more developed Irma might be a roo. But...
I had some brooder issues at the start but got everything squared away now. The current set up is three 8 week olds (2 hens, 1 roo) and nine 2 week olds; a brooder within a brooder so that there is interaction but the littles have a safe place if needed. So far so good.
My neighbor lost most of...
I have been holding this in for a while. In April 2017, I bought my first peeps! Before so, I called and asked "Can you tell hens from roosters?" The man on the phone happily said he could. Upon arrival, I asked for six rhode island reds, one silkie, and two araucanas. I asked for all girls. The...
Hello to everyone. I'm somewhat new on here and haven't posted before. I was wondering if anyone on here would be interested in two silkie roosters around six months old? Possibly in December? We're going to be homeless after our lease is up and I'd feel better at least knowing they had...
