    Do I have a Roo?

    I purchased 6 sexed Rhode Island Red chicks from Tractor Supply and I’m thinking that this one might be a Roo. Can anyone help identify it please? It’s the only one with the comb ? on the top and it’s more aggressive than the others.

    Worms

    No, I don't have those items here, and I just went to Tractor Supply and they don't carry them as well. I also looked for Wazine and they were out of that. Is there anything I should be doing with the coop?

    I just purchased these chickens, and not sure if rooster or hen.

    I just purchased these two chickens, and was told that one was a hen, and one a rooster. Now I know I should have been more careful, but the owners drove 20 mins to deliver them to me, and it was at night. Not sure what I should have done, but here we are and now I have them. I'm thinking...
