UPDATED PICTURES Here is Sisco at approx. 5 months old. He DEFINATLY is a rooster. He's a very cool rooster so far. He changed fast. He just started crowing about 2 weeks ago. He use to be a greyish blue fluffball. Now he's just proud
I don't know how old this guy is, I would guess he's about 4 months old. He just started doing this 2 days ago.(which was also the same day we FINALLY confirmed he was a rooster and not a pullet I was wondering if he was just practicing or what because so far he has been getting his butt kicked...
