4 week old buff showing signs of being a rooster

[cburgin95]

Have a 4 week old buff from Meyer hatchery that has developed quite the comb. What are you all thinking in terms of sex?

Thanks!

Looks like a cockerel. You keeping him?

We will see! Gonna give him some more time to be sure but we’re urban so a rooster isn’t gonna go over well. Feels like a waste to just put one in the freezer with all the time raising him.

That route is more convenient than rehoming.

Good advice. If it ends up being a rooster for sure what’s a good age to cull, if you have thoughts obviously, no worries if not!
