Need help with the breed, guessing cockerel with the size of comb and wattles at 7 weeks old and has light pinkish legs. When i pick it up doesn't feel feathery like other 7 week olds, feels fluffy.
I have 10 chickens all 22 weeks old,3 white rocks started laying at 17 weeks, 3 Red sex links at 18 weeks, 2 barred rocks just started and 2 RIRs 1 started about 19 weeks and 1 still not laying. All eggs before noon.
I have 3 WRs that started laying, first egg 17 weeks 1 day old by 18 weeks old all 3 laying. Now waiting for RIRs, BRs and RSLs to start now 18 weeks 3 days old
I have 10 chicks, 2 BRs,3 WRs,3RSLs, and 2 RIRs all 17 weeks and 1 day old. Got my first egg today. Not sure who laid it. It's a bit small but its a start.
Need to get rid of a RIR rooster, I can not have a roo, 11 weeks old. I'm hoping that someone will take him to give him a home, and by home I don't mean the freezer.
I live in Caroga Lake NY, message me if interested .

This is the first year I've had chickens, got 12 of them at three days old and now they are 10 weeks and 4 days old, all doing great. I do read a lot about chickens. As far as roosting everything I read says about 2" round roost is what chickens prefer. They like to grip the roost. And they do...
This is sad, as long as they are eating and drinking I would make them my special project and fight hard to keep them, good luck with them and please do keep us posted.

My RIR roo at 9 weeks had a lot bigger and redder comb and wattles.
Love this bird but I do have to get rid of him for I can not have a rooster where I live.
