As it turns out, 2 of the chicks I ordered back in March are roos. One a Partridge Plymouth Rock; the other a Buckeye. I'll keep one but the other will have to go. I'm leaning more towards the Buckeye (since I have more Buckeye pullets than Partridge Rock pullets), however, wondering if I should wait it out to see how the little roos personalities develop. I have one mature roo already (a black sexlink) who has a great, non-aggressive personality. The newest flock of Buckeyes, PRs and a few EEs will be separate from the flock with the established roo so I'm not worried about the roos mixing it up.
Right now, the PR roo is huge (well, at least to me he's huge); the Buckeye is average size. Buckeye started crowing first and the PR has just started giving it the old college try. The Buckeye roo is standoffish whereas the PR roo is a bit more curious.
Thoughts? Would you do a wait and see? They'll be 12 weeks old next Monday.
Thanks.
