Hi Amiga,
I read your post from 5/7/14 about the duck that was attacked by a raccoon. Mine was attacked by a turkey last night and has part of her skull showing :(
Do you happen to know if the Duramycin that was used was in powder form? I went to the tractor supply company today and it looks...
Dang! Okay, thank you for all of the help, everyone! I can't believe I ended up with all roosters, how crazy O_o
So the next question is... at what age is best for butchering these guys?
See, that iridescent color is what is getting me too! I can't tell with this breed and it's driving me crazy!
We inherited them from a 5th grade class earlier this year, so I am guessing they are about 3 months old.

Thanks in advance for any help I get sexing these! I can't seem to get a unified answer from anyone, so I am hoping that there are some with lots of experience to help us out before we end up butchering what would have been a good layer, thinking it was a roost.
We have chickens of various ages that have not started laying yet. I am concerned that the majority of the chickens we are raising are roosters... Here are the pictures.
