Great!
Are you planning on keeping him?
Roosters have great benefits; Here are a few:
- They sound the alarm when a predator is around
- They fertilize eggs, which allows you to hatch your own eggs
- They are fun to watch
- And much more. (:
Nope. One is a pullet and one is a cockerel.
Roosters are not too hard to raise, unless you live in a city and/or close to other neighbors who could be bothered by the crowing.
Yup, one boy, one girl.
A little trick on sexing Barred Rocks: Almost always, (if they're pure) cockerels will have lighter feathering and much more white, just like your cockerel in the first picture. The pullets will have less white and will have a much darker overall coloring.
