4-6 week old barnyard mix chick

[MelissaGlabay]

I know one is a barred rock mix but does anyone have any ideas of what kind the white/brown/black one is?

It's a little cockerel judging by the visible plumage pattern and comb size/color relative to age

I had a bad feeling it was.

How old are they when they start to crow?

How old are they when they start to crow?

That depends on the individual. I've seen vids on youtube of 1 wk olds trying to crow, and heard of others that don't start until their 20s... If you already have a rooster, it may not happen for some time, as they'll get thrashed by the resident patriarch.

Thank you! No we don’t have any other chickens yet.
