Here's one chick whose gender I'm hoping is a hen... They're not the best pics though. (10 wks old tomorrow.)

Haha!! That little roo IS actually comical! His personality is like a cartoon character. I agree - jumping on the roof is not necessarily a dominant behavior, but after all the chest butting he does, I saw it as the next step. Lol. He hangs around with his mom a lot. I don't know if that's...

I miscounted. My roo is 11 or 12 months old.

Oh, gosh, I can't count!!! My roo is either 11 or 12 months old. I don't know my bantam's breed. I was told she's a Cochin, but a couple years later, someone said she's a Brahma. She's the blond hen in the pics in my first post. She's standing on top of the water bin in one and standing around...

I'm looking for suggestions on when I can integrate these chicks (& mom) with the other adults. Tiny flock: 1 roo, 2 hens, one of whom is a bantam & hatched & raised 4 chicks in an adjoining coop & run, visible to the others. Mom & chicks are still living in it. Chicks now 9 wks old & taller...
