The first is definitely a cockerel, the second looks like one to but I’m no expert

I no longer have the body. All my of my other chickens seem fine today so I am hoping there is nothing more to worry about. Thanks for all of the guesses, tips and helpful information.

Chickens are free range and get there own grit, I only provide grit in the brooder to the chicks. It did not smell bad from afar. I do still have the body, I can check.

I did not smell it.

Yeah he has always looked like that

I am worried this could be contagious (whatever it is) and possibly harm my hens, the chicks or myself. If not contagious I wonder if it could be genetic, and my chicks hatched from eggs fertilized by him could be at risk.

Today I had all my chickens locked up in their run (often I free range if I’m home) and I was letting the littles (4 week olds) run around with the rest of my flock. I went inside for 1 hour maybe 2 hours, and when I come back out to check on the chicks, my silkie rooster was dead in the middle...

Hello! Welcome to BYC! We are excited to have you and help with any questions you might have, be it ducks chickens or other poultry.

Where are you? If your near another member they could maybe lend you an incubator

I have a friend that wants one, and I can keep one maybe. But the others I will have to figure something out

Yeah I know :(

Thanks for the input guys! I will have to figure out what to do with the extra roosters if there is more than two.

Welcome to byc! And glad to have another member from MA!

I’ve heard this method works:confused:

The ones in the picture are a year old, I also have four week olds in a brooder❤️

I use a wyze camera in my coop

All right, thanks for all of your answers! I’ll post pictures tomorrow when it’s light out again. Two of them are starting to get wattles and redder combs.

Thanks! Most of mine are a mix of silkie and cinnamon queen, some might be golden sex link silkie mix and two are barnyard mixes.
