roos

Howdy! I purchased 5 straight run chicks from Alchemist Farms. I thought it would be fun to do a week by week progression of these chicks, while guessing Roos/Hens. I'll be starting this progression at Week 2 and posting an update once a week. Type your guesses! I honestly have no idea but am...

I have been here a couple times and my birds were younger so most of their sexes were still in question. But now they are developing - and I think I may have 4 cockerels?!? I’m horrible bird mom because I’m not sure of their exact age. They’re probably around 2 months. How the heck do you pick...

The lighter one is turning lavander. Pretty sure she's a hen. The dark brahma seems to be a roo which is great. We wanted a roo to add to the flock. Looking for some input from experienced brahma owners.

All bantams. Might be too early to tell with some of them! But curious if anyone has any guesses.

11 week old (as of the first week of June) French Black Copper Marans sweet gentleman looking for a new home. Great bloodlines from Alchemist Farm, https://www.alchemistfarm.com/black-copper-marans/, guaranteed to be from an egg 6 or darker. Located in East Bay, California.

I have no idea if this is a rooster or a leghorn because he/she reddened up quickly and I didn't think leghorns were a breed tractor supply had offered at the time but it looks so much like one. It is 9 weeks old and super friendly but I see the tail feathers arching a bit and that comb and...

We currently have four 4.5/5 week old chicks in the brooder. One is a lavender orpington, and we are 90% sure it's a rooster based on comb and waddle development. We cannot keep roosters in our area, so the plan was to rehome him in a few weeks once we are sure it's a rooster. But to add to the...

I’ll try to keep this brief! We got our 11 chicks back in august and got 1 rooster and 10 hens, which is exactly what we wanted. I raised them all by hand and they’ve always been very friendly with me. When we transferred them outside anytime I open the door and come out they run to the edge to...

Hi all, I have two roosters, one is (I think?) a prairie bluebell roo, and the other, I'm not sure, but he is white with speckles and iridescent black and blue tail feathers. The white one is Sam and the grey one is Nekbother, or Neeky boy for short. So Sam was dominant over Neek, and so I had...

Hi all! I have some roos that I got as part of an order from Greenfire that I need a new home for! They are rare breeds so I would rather rehome them than eat them! I have 1 Gold Deathlayer male, 2 Silver Deathlayer males, and 1 Black Copper Maran male. All of them are in excellent health...

Here are two of my beauties ❤️

Here are three photos of one of my white crested polish chicks. It’s 9 weeks old. I’m thinking rooster… thoughts?

Last spring I bought 4 "sexed" day old chicks that turned out to ALL be roos. A hen hatched out two more babies, got two more roos. Finding homes for them took well into the summer and meant hours and hours of driving all over the place to their new homes. BUT. NOW. One of my hens hatched a...

So, I have ended up with too many roosters, (as one does) but I seem to have the same breed hen for each rooster if that makes sense? My question is, can I keep them together as breeding pairs without any problems? Or would I need multiple hens for the roos? I want them kept as pairs for several...

Hello everyone, My family and I are new to raising chickens and we started from scratch! By that I mean incubating our eggs. In our first round of 10 we got 7 baby chicks. They’re a month old now and we have moved them into the coop. Since we don’t have adult chickens and the summer has the...

Hello! I have 2 Barred Rock Bantams that I need to re-home. They're about 4 months old & little sweethearts.. I just have TOO MANY ROOSTERS! 🤣 They're great guardians (they always alert when something is near), they're fairly docile (they don't like to be picked up, but love to be hand fed)...

Curious what you guys think of these two

Wellp, it turns out that 2 of my easter eggers are boys and we aren't allowed to keep them (we live within city limits). So they're looking for a new home. Let me know if you're interested! They are both beautiful birds and, so far, not showing any aggression. "Priscilla" is particularly pretty...

I have 3 roos for sale. One is a golden sexlink (we're pretty sure) no idea what the other 2 are. They were sent as extras in a hatchery shipment and we just can't keep them all! I didn't want to slaughter them so I thought I would list them here! They will be 8 weeks old on May 23rd. $15 each...
