I'm new to the forum and to chicken husbandry. I was given two chicks last week. I have no idea how old they are, other than they are young. They are almost entirely fledged out with feathers, but still have some fluff on their heads. My question is, at what stage will I know what sex they are? Do cockerals start crowing when they are still young? This is important as I live in town and can't' have a rooster. So far they have been a joy. They eat about a metric ton of food everyday, but other than that. How can something so small eat so much!!!
Here they are a week ago, they are about double this size now.
Any insight or words of wisdom for a newbie are appreciated!
