I just wanted to update for anyone who sees this post later on - THESE WERE IN FACT ROOSTERS!
Very, very loud and aggressive roosters, unfortunately. They were rehomed and will be very happy though.
The breed sounds about spot on, thinking about the breeds seen in the flock we got the mixed eggs from. My only bafflement is that they're around 23 weeks and still acting very much like hens! All my other roosters were very bitch by 16 weeks and crowing! Maybe late bloomers? I will definitely...
Yes I see this! Thank you so much! My other roos were so much more roostery by 16 weeks though and trying to crow quite obviously. These are about 23 weeks and are still acting like chickens! Maybe blessed with quiet roosters? Lol.
I have added some more photos! It's really difficult to tell, but I'd have thought they would have started growing by now and they very clearly say "boc boc boc" lol.
Thank you for your reply. I know the flock they came from had Leghorn and Maran roos. But also many others!
Thank you very...
Hi everyone,
This is my first post, however I'm a long time lurker! I've only been keeping chickens for a year or so and could really do with some help identifying the breed and gender of these two!
Hatched mid January from dark dark eggs.
They were in a mixed batch and I've not a clue what...
