    Too Many Cockerels - Reorg Timeline

    I currently have five, 11-week old chickens outside in a coop. 2/5 of these chickens are confirmed cockerels and will be culled next week. I’m concerned that out of the remaining 3 chickens, two more are cockerels 🥲. The breed is just developing slower. Obviously, our one pullet shouldn’t be...

    Northeast Ohio - Light Brahma Cockerel for Rehoming

    *Cross posted from the Ohio state thread* It is with sadness that we need to rehome our beloved Light Brahma, Link (formerly Lily). He was in the sexed pullet bin, but it's looking like this is a cockerel! He's an absolutely beautiful bird, and so far has been very friendly and a good companion...

    SF Bay area - sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel

    Hello all! I have a sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel named Kuro. He's already a good leader looking out for the pullets I've got, and I think he's pretty to boot. I'd keep him but I can't have a rooster in the city so he's got to go. If I can't rehome him before he starts crowing he's...

    Young Roos

    Hi everyone! I was recently given two males which appear to be young. I don’t have any information on them. They seem to be friendly so far and will let you hold them if caught. I’m keeping them separated from my hens for now. The gray one just started crowing since I’ve had him. I’m curious...

    Pullet or Cockerel lavender Cochin?

    Here is a four week old lavender Cochin. The tail feathers aren’t coming in like other chicks. The comb is larger in comparison. The legs seems to be thicker. This chick tends to square up to other chicks more so than anyone else. Do I have a cockerel on my hands or is there still a possibility...

    Cockerel being a jerk or just normal behavior?

    This is my first time raising a cockerel with my egg hens because one of the lavender orpingtons turned out to be a cockerel. They are all five weeks old and from what I can tell, he is the only cockerel. He is honestly starting to be a jerk? He's chasing quite a few of the girls around, but...

    Our new cockerel Lenny - I love him to bits!!!

    Hi all, Thought I’d make a wee post to show off the cockerel I picked up recently - I’m sure he’s a bit of a mutt but I know he’s a bantam of some sort (he’s much smaller than all the hens). I was thinking he could be part silkie because of his feather texture but then again he doesn’t have the...

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte pullet

    What do you think about this one; male or female Blue Laced Red Wyandotte? The colors vary and the rose comb is hard to tell, so I’m not sure. Hatched Dec 16th at Meyers. The order was supposed to be all female but found two boys so far.
