My chicks are 10 weeks old. I have 16 chicks. 12 are black sex link, 3 are white and 1 is grey. 6 of the black sex links are cockerels and 6 are pullets. 2 out of 3 of the whites are cockerels. And the grey one is a cockerel. So I have 9 cockerels and 7 pullets.
So far they've gone through...
I have a 9 week old cockerel doing the same. He seemed fine yesterday. But today he is listless and when I went to pick him up he gave an alarm call and mucus came out of his mouth. Sorry to post on your thread but the problem looked the same.
Yea, that's my thought also. Too bad. I don't want any roos but this one is very good looking. The other roos (Black sex link) have bigger combs that this grey one.
Ok. My chicks are 7 weeks old now. I can already tell which ones are roosters except for this grey chick. Can anyone say for sure if it is a rooster? Also what type of breed is it? A mutt?
