What breed and gender is this I was told Cochin RIR mixes

[taunya1979]

They all have a strip of feathering down the leg.
The two brown ones have big combs the black n blue small ones about 7 weeks old according to previous owner any help?

the combs on the brown ones make me think roo

[Poultry parent]

yeah those 2 are looking like roos

 

[taunya1979]

I thought they were too but then I also thought how weird the same coloring and the same sex they had the line on the head when thy were younger I was told.
But does that way even work when they are mutts?
(Shrug) can't wait to get these guys back outside.

 

[Poultry parent]

sometime the coloring will work on non-sex-ling breeds but i don't know how accurate that is with mixes

 

[taunya1979]

So sad if they are Roos can't have them where I live so once they crow they will have to go.

 

[Poultry parent]

is there a penalty where you live for having roos? or is it just like if your neighbors complain you have to get rid of them?

 

[taunya1979]

I'm not sure what they do for sure I only know it's a weird county rules say one thing town say another about allowing 4 hens. Roosters are a no no all together. I saw those rooster collars wonder if they are worth a shot? I live in a crappy neighborhood but don't really want anyone upset over the hens n me have to get rid of them.

I could see those being the mix advertised. And I agree you have two cockerels. If you live in an area where they're not allowed, start making plans to get rid of them. I'd be very unhappy if I lived in an area where roosters weren't allowed and my neighbor had them. Plus, they're just going to be freeloaders. If you're only allowed 4 birds, why waste than on two useless roosters? Replace them with two nice hens and double your egg production
