The five around or closest to the leg horn definitely look like roos (just like the two roos I thought were hens from last summer pics), or you can Google "feather sexing RIR's" and maybe you can get a better idea. The one top righr of all in the pic looks like a hen but unsure of the top left...
Hello Blii. I know this is well past the date of your post but I was wondering what your RIR turned out to be, hen or roo? The only reason I ask is because I have an 11 week old RIR that I am hoping is a hen but people keep saying is a roo. But at the same time my RIR, he/she acts just like...
Before I forget to ask all of you but I have one more question. I live in Prescott AZ and it is about 65 degrees during day and an average low at night of 30 degrees. I have three older laying hens that are close to a year old in the coop outside. They are 1 leghorn, 1 black austrolorp, and 1...
Yeah I know what you mean. I am so hoping what you mean. I have raised these two since they were a day old and I would hate to give them away. I have two young girls that are four and six that love these birds, and vice versa... These birds will let them pick them up, carry them around on their...
Well I have 3 that are a year old. They are one leghorn, one golden laced Wyandotte, and a black austrolorp (all hens).
I also have two ten week old RIR (roo's).
I also have 6 that are 6 weeks old, three Easter eggers, one leghorn, and two RIR's (hens).
Ok. Thank you to everyone who has responded. I am still learning the sight on how to respond and who has responded. I appreciate all the info and I too believe that they are both are roo's. I am going to find them good homes due to I live in the city. It saddens me because I have a four and five...
I am a first time chick owner and the one with no tail feathers is very squawky to touch and when handled. The smaller one with the hint of black tail feathers is very calm, sweet and loves to be touched. Very unlike a rooster, I think. Can I have anyone's input?
Ok well I know the bigger one is a cockerel for sure. He squawks like he is getting ready to crow. But as for the other one, he/she is really sweet and is smaller. I have one older hen I just got a few days ago and I have been letting them stay together outside during the day, as soon as I put...
Thank you Veer. Here are the Pics of the two RIR I acquired from someone off of CL. They are 10 weeks old born Feb. 1st and the one with the no tail but has fuzz is wild like a young adolescent and squawks to the touch or when handled. The other with tail feathers that are starting to turn black...
