Thanks. I'm not sure what to do as we really only wanted layers. This is our first time raising chickens. Will the cockerels interfere with the hens laying? We really don't want them to breed either.
Hi, we are raising 6 Rhode Island reds as layer hens. They are currently 12 weeks old. We were told that they are all female. Now we aren't so sure .. 2 of them are much larger and very territorial. I'd appreciate any help identifying their gender..! I've attached a couple of pics. Thanks!!
