    The little boys always win me over too, they are definitely sweeter in my opinion. My little Druid was a BR cockerel and he was the first chick I bonded with right away in the store and I bought him even though I was sure he was male lol. I wish I could take him off your hands but both my...

    Also see a lot more white on that one than I did on other female BR chicks. More points for male

    This is a tough one. Could you maybe get a shot of your baby's head and neck from the back? I can't tell how far down the white spot stretches. Head shape looks male to me, I noticed a distinct difference in head shape between my male and female BR. My male had a much runnier spot than yours...

    6 week old sebright cockerels inseparable, but hurting eqchother

    Lol the only attention they get from anyone but me is in the form of getting chased or pecked or my barred rock pullet straight cockfighting them for no reason except that she saw them looking happy and comfy all stretched out in the sun and it p*sses her off somehow. I can't tell you how often...

    Do you guys notice your rock pullets to be exceptionally fiesty? My Lydia is 3 months old and she is very sweet with people but incredibly bold and strident. My cat got into the garage (where the chickens lived until we finished our coop) once and Lydia went straight up and pecked poor Butters...

    Yeah, I also always felt Atilla was the more fragile of the two and I fussed over him obsessively. I kept them in the brooder until they were over a month old and coddled them with eggs and oatmeal and vitamins and probiotics etc. They both have a double comb but Serenity has far better lacing...

    But I'm taking his young age into consideration which is my biggest clue he is a boy. It's like his comb has quit developing though, it was changing daily and now only Serenity (lol, the male I thought was female originally hence his lovely name) is getting a bigger redder comb by the day not to...

    Thanks so much! The only thing is when I google sebright hens I get everything from almost no comb, a black comb, to a reddish pink medium comb and pinkish white waddles exactly like my Atilla. He is from a feed store and I'm guessing the breeding is fast and loose with those sebrights so I...

    Question: my two silvers appear to be both roosters but they are the exact same age and one of them has a decidedly smaller lighter comb and smaller barely pink waddles. They're 8 weeks old. They've always been the same size but one, the one with the smaller comb and waddles, developed way more...

    6 week old sebright cockerels inseparable, but hurting eqchother

    See, this is why I got what was supposed to be only one bantam rooster, the idea being they are too small to be a major threat to eke or my much larger birds and even if they become a problem, easier to contain space wise. I'm not going to kill any of my birds, and I don't really know what one...

    2 hens and a female giunea, the guinea is only a month old and I'm not sure if my 3 month old guinea is male or female but the month old is the one my cockerels are close with, they were brooder mates.

    6 week old sebright cockerels inseparable, but hurting eqchother

    I was told in another thread that my two bantam roosters wouldn't even likely breed my 3 full size hens which is why so far I have kept them. Don't even know where I would "get rid" of them at. If need be, if it comes to it, I would just house them entirely separate from the hens. They're...
