We have production reds and what TSC calls Asian blacks. I guess we have mutts. They are all healthy, good layers and cold hardy. Been looking at other breeds but I know it can be hard to introduce new birds into the flock and we don’t want multiple coops.

Interesting. We don’t have anyone with a large comb/ wattle and don’t know if it’s breed specific. Some of the skin on their faces is starting to turn red’ish but none are screaming future roo to me. When do saddle feathers start to show or become obviously roo’ish?

Too young for tail feathers? Guess we’ll give it a few more weeks. Thank you!

Yes it’s a blurry pick. Those chickens are always moving! I wonder about the tail feathers.

Thank you all! I think we might be the luckiest TSC customers ever. I have one more that I suspect is a cockerel, all his tail feathers slope down but he’s smaller than everyone else. I assume we ended up with mixed ages. But looks like 11 of 12 are pullets!

Our flock is about 9 weeks old, mixed production reds and Asian blacks. Have a few suspected cockerels. Thanks for your help!

Newly minted chicken lady here. Wanted chickens for a while and isolation pushed me to do.... just like everyone else in RI! Starting with 6 production reds and 6 Asian blacks. Surely we have a couple of cockerels, just can’t tell yet. All but two are friendly, 1 very bossy chicken. She’ll be...

I have no idea yet! Seems all the other breed hints don’t apply to this type of chicken. Read the article featured on the main page about roosters. Very informative!

These look just like our Asian Blacks from TSC. Here they are as chicks and now. Our flock is half Asians and half Production Reds.
