Pullets or Roo

[Sylvia0223]

Yep still a cockerel,sorry.

I guess it’s not the end of the world. I just don’t want a roo.

Perfect example to others though. Males are lighter and have wider white barring and females tend to have darker barring. Has something out of the ordinary happened before? Yes, I have seen males with darker barring as well, but in general, its a genetic thing.

I have not owned any barred rock chicks, but will be getting a barred rock.

You can rehome him. Look at forums and go to the bottom of page.

Any reason you don't want a cockerel/Rooster?

Depends on the number of hens. Why don't you want fertile eggs?

You collect the eggs daily and in doing so there would never be chicks.

There wouldn’t be any, unless you kept the eggs at over 95° for 21 days.
