They are in a flock of 30+ and are able to free range on a 20 acre farm. I don’t know the makeup of hens to roos but the new owner has had chickens all her life so they are in good hands. She sends me video updates and they seem happy and well adjusted. She said out of all the chickens in her...
UPDATE: as many people guessed, we ended up with 3 roos and just one hen. I was able to find a happy home for them all thankfully (even the pullet since we didn’t want to break up the family). Now we have no chickens at all and will try again next spring. Thanks to everyone for the help!

Thanks for the advice Mrs K.
JadeFarms are we looking at the same pictures? 😄 When you say #2 is questionable do you mean the one with black/green coloring and very contrasting red hackle feathers? I put pics of my babies on the thread asking about gender and everyone said 100% that #2 is a cockerel and the votes were more...
I like your theory about #3 Percheron and I hope you’re right, but interestingly that is the only chicken that has started to crow in the mornings 🤷🏼♀️ I also see a lot of “challenge” behavior going on between the 3 that I think may be boys. I have read that crowing and challenging w/ hackle...
Hi everyone,
I’m brand new to chickens and raised four lovely chicks together (now at 12 weeks old) and it seems I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. ☹ They are really close and snuggly with each other and I hate to separate them, but I gather this rooster to hen ratio won’t be good once the...
