    Cochin Help me decide for sure on Sex please;)

    I'm 99.99999999% sure I've got an over abundance of cockerels on my hands. But I'm praying I'm wrong because it means that out of 15 straight run Feather Footed Fances, I only got 4 pullets. 11 cockerels seems like more than my fair share. Lol They're about 15-16 weeks now and all but one acts...

    What Breed is this Free Range bird?

    This is Bruno. I live in Texas and rent my home and property. The homeowners used to raise roosters for cockfighting. Yes, of course it is illegal, but he did it anyway. So when we moved in, these chickens were left here and so I feed them and make sure they have water. We have Bruno, I named...
