    Golden Wyandotte - cockerel?

    That's what we were thinking. He is getting more and more beautiful each day, but we can't keep him :( We live in the suburbs with close neighbors and I think our county doesn't allow roosters on land less than 1 acre or something (I researched it a while ago, now I can't remember). I'm...

    Golden Wyandotte - cockerel?

    I'm guessing this is a cockerel but I've never had a golden wyandotte before - please confirm my fears! I don't recall age, I think we got them early April, so he/she is still a juvenile.

    Roo or pullet (buff orpington)?

    I decided I should add an update to this in case anyone sees the forum post in the future. The suspected roo ended up being a roo (he started crowing at about 9 weeks old - it was too cute!) and he is now at my friend's aunt's house where is living happily with 2 or 3 other hens. Thanks...

    Roo or pullet (buff orpington)?

    Yeah, we live in the suburbs and roosters aren't allowed. They are very pretty and this one would make a great pet - but the neighbors wouldn't appreciate it.

    Thanks for such a quick response - that's what I was afraid of

    Roo or pullet (buff orpington)?

    I did some research on the forums here, but I’m completely new to chickens so I wanted to post the question here to see what responses I get. I’m a little worried one of my pullets is actually a roo since it’s developing a larger comb faster than the others and it’s turning red faster than the...
