tha thanks so much, appreciated.

haha, no its fine. We were after a rooster, but were given a pullet, so we got this guy. He has some bantam and silkie in him ...and goodness knows what else, but we just were starting t think he was she, because he hasn't started crowing yet and is getting bossed around by the older girls :)

Thankyou :)

thanks so much, well I guess he is a rooster then lol.

Hi Chicken Brains Trust :) Hoping for your help again. Our last 'rooster' turned out to be a pullet so just wanting a gender ID on 'Marley'? We really arent sure at this stage. Very much appreciate any help, Kind regards Tracey

Thanks so much - yes I'm not scared of him and will keep picking up over the next few days. I'll post some updates as Igo. Very much appreciate the advice.

hmmmm....ok thankyou. Unfortunately lost a whole flock end of last year to a rogue dog, including my lovely rooster. He was a much bigger roo than this one and was pretty responsive to me do the arm flap (he was not hand raised and had had hardly any human interaction). He would get on the gate...

Understand - thankyou :)

So do you think he might be a non aggressive roo? Just reacting to the little boy? Harry was hand raised/ inc hatched.

Hi Everyone, this is Harry. Harry is a roo, appx 6 months and is coming into manhood. The lady who owns him has about 17 hens, including another roo who is only about 3 months. Recently Harry has been trying to attack the ladies young son and has been getting very bossy with all the hens. No...

Been thinking that way myself. Don’t think I can part with him/ her now. Thankyou.
