Who wants to play the whos a roo game with me?!
I’m not new to owning chickens. I’ve had chickens for about 5 years. But I’ve always gotten “lucky” and never gotten a rooster. It was just a preference not to have one. I wouldn’t mind having ONE this go around but now I’m getting a little nervous MOST of my new babies are possibly Roos.
I know it may still be too early to tell 100% but some of you all seemed pretty confident when I asked yesterday about my bantam, that it was a MALE seabright…
I got two different groups. The first group of five I got together they are 18 days old. The three bigger ones seem to be growing so much faster and getting feathers a lot faster than I remember all my other babies in previous years. And since I have never had Roos, I started assuming maybe they are roosters? Any thoughts on the three bigger yellow chickens? They also seems to have thicker legs and are very assertive and climb on me as soon as I open the door where as the other two from their group, the Jersey Giant and the other little brown/black one that I’m not 100% sure the breed have been a little more reserved.
Then I got 4 bantams. They are approx a week younger than the first 5. The smaller white one is a bantam, any guesses on breed and sex?
Asking all in curiosity of other’s opinion as I know I won’t be 100% sure until they are older.
Thanks!!
