That's good news at least. The leghorn is Goat, and she used to be the biggest. It's been really funny watching her react to them getting bigger than she is.
The cockerels so far are really good together. They're actually very protective of each other, which is part of what made me question it...
Update! I took more pictures. Fully agree on the two y'all've agreed are roos, although I managed to snag Sparrow (the darker/more colorful EE) and he chilled in my lap for a solid couple of minutes, which he hasn't done since he was a baby.
My next question is maybe a silly/basic one, but assuming y'all're right (and I believe you) and I've got two cockerels, what's my next step? More hens, right? And in that case, how many?
Another edit: there have been zero aggression issues with the two EEs so far, with the other chickens or...
The Cornish cross checks out with what I thought so that's a little exciting haha
The other two you circled are the ones I thought/am worried were also cockerels. They were supposed to be speckled sussex and female, but they increasingly don't look like what I feel like they should based on a...
Oh no 🙃
Edit: The giant white one you circled 100% was a rooster; I actually took it to my mother-in-law recently because it couldn't walk and he was apparently delicious. So if that somehow gets me down to 1 or 2, this might be manageable (if I go pick up more hens somewhere)
Hi all. First-time chicken owner and after a lot of lurking, I decided it was probably time to make an account and ask the experts. The long and short is that I got seven chicks back on 4/12/23. They were supposed to be:
three barred rocks
two speckled sussex
one "mystery white" who was a week...
