    Help! I think I brought home some roosters

    Sexed. Hatched 10/21. Two white leghorns and two Rhode Island Reds. He said they sex them via the wing feathers with pretty good success Hopefully getting two barred rock and two Copper Maran on Wednesday. To be honest I don't really mind too much that I got 4 roosters. It was a cool...

    Help! I think I brought home some roosters

    @angc11 thank you for the explanation. I realized I have one bird that was not pictured because she/him is hard to catch. I grabbed the bird coming out of the coop door this morning for some pictures. One of my customers has a feed store and brought me 4 chicks last night. So we are...

    Help! I think I brought home some roosters

    My wife wants to try to hang onto the pretty copper/black one. He's real sweet. We will see what happens when he starts crowing.

    Help! I think I brought home some roosters

    No idea what kind of bard yard mix breed I have now but they are remarkably friendly. I almost don't want to slaughter them because they have been such good pets. Back in college when I worked on the university dairy farm we had a couple of roosters that were the meanest things on the farm.

    Help! I think I brought home some roosters

    Dang. Win some lose some I guess. I was really hoping for at least 3 hens out of the 5. My boys wanted baby chicks anyway so I guess we are starting over. I'm assuming it's the saddle feathers that are the giveaway?

    Help! I think I brought home some roosters

    My 5 and 6 year old boys wanted chickens and I was more than happy to help them build a coop and get some birds. I've had these for 10 weeks, I believe they were between 10 and 12 weeks old when I brought them home. No crowing yet! The boys have named these birds so I need to get out in front of...
