At what age are you supposed to be able to tell that you have a rooster. I have 11 buff orps and I can't tell for sure which one is supposed to be a rooster! Is it still to early? One has tail feathers that is pointed up more than the others, but then another has the starting of the same...
I am interested in this question too. I am getting in the "chicken business" hopefully this spring and I'm torn between ordering from McMurray Hatchery, Cackle Hatchery or going through a local place that I found on Craigslist called The Poultry House in Franklin TN. Anyone have advice?
