This spring, I bought 4 "orpington pullets" from Tractor Supply that quickly turned out to be Dominque chickens. I was on the fence about their sex when they were younger, but now I'm fairly certain that my 4 pullets are all roosters. I haven't heard any crowing attempts yet, and they don't spar with each other at all, though, but I'm pretty sure those are saddle feathers coming in, right? They are a little skittish, and I can never get ahold of one to look more closely, and their coloring makes it kind of tough to see the precise shape of the feathers... Anyway, we already have 2 friendly adult roos and really needed to increase the number of hens in our flock as is, so I will need to get rid of these guys and hopefully try to find some juvenile hens ASAP if they are indeed roosters, so any assistance is helpful. I've never had Dominiques before, and am unsure of what their development should look like at this stage. Thanks!
