Thanks! My other rooster has already started crowing and has the pointy feathers. I guess this one will be following him soon !

Thanks! I was a confused because my other rooster has pointy feathers already and I thought maybe he would be a hen lol!

A little over 2 months old

His tail feathers are far more broad than I expected them to be. I thought roosters had pointier feathers near their tails. Is it possible he is actually a she? He is a d’uccle bantam

They free range during the day and go in the coop at night. So far I do have 4 girls and 2 boys. Not sure about my 3 new chicks though. I heard free ranging can relieve some tension since they’re free to move around wherever. I’m going to have to see how things go and act accordingly. But before...

Yeah I’m going to see how it plays out and try different things to make it work. If it comes to the health of them and they’re hurting each other or the hens, one will have to go. I think they’ll be fine though since they free range except for at night

I’ve heard people put their roosters in carriers at night and cover them up with a blanket to keep out light. They also put 4 in together so since mine have grown up together they will probably be ok. I will probably have to experiment with different things though. I also heard picking them up...

She has 4 toes. And her feathers are looking white so far but as long as I know the breed that’s all I was really wondering! And how can you tell the other is a cockerel?

I believe she has a single comb. I got a closer look thank you!

I think mine is a white d’uccle as well now that I noticed the puffy cheeks lol. I have a 2 month old lavender d’uccle right now as well and they’re so pretty!

So I have 6 two month old chicks. I’m fairly certain I have 2 bantam roosters and 4 standard hens. I also have three baby chicks of unknown sexes. I’m worried about my two roosters (behavior and noise level). Especially if any of my new chicks turn out to be roosters as well. Although I’m...

How could I tell if she has a single comb?

Do you think the smaller one is a pullet as well? I hope I’ll be able to tell what breed she is eventually. She’s so tiny it makes me so curious lol !

I think the yellow one is a light Brahma but I wanted to double check. The other one is really really tiny and looks kinda funny to me. I’m so curious what breed it is

They’re kinda gray. Not black and no extra toe so she’s not a silkie 🥺
