What a handsome boy! Once again, makes me wish I could keep roos here.

Thank you!!! I think he’s maturing and filling out really nicely.

I never thought I would have one but hatched him and fell in love LOL

So far he’s been quiet. We got rid of his loud mouth “siblings” (different breeds) that crowed constantly and early lol

That is awesome!! I will keep my fingers crossed for the same thing! Thanks for the reply!

No problem!!! Hopefully your boy is quiet too.

I thought Jack would never crow lmao then one day a few weeks ago I heard this pathetic sounding thing coming from the coop

I know this thread is really old but, Each day my lavender Orpington chick is looking more and more like a cockerel!! I'm not completely sure yet that it's a cockerel & if it's a hen, we will keep her. However, if it is a cockerel, we can't keep roos where I live so I'd like to find it a home where it can live it's life out happily. The chick is only 8 weeks old as of now, so we've got a ways to go before we will know for sure. I know roos can be difficult to rehome, so I wanted to see what the interest is in our area (near Gulf Breeze/Pensacola FL).

Maybe you should post on the FL (state) page. Hope it turns out to be a girl. BTW, mine has turned into a quite a mean girl. She was bottom of the pecking order growing up, then I got 3 easter eggers. Now she spends most of her time torturing them . She's still pretty though, and sweet with me and the other girls. Good luck with your little one.
