I already knew 7 and 8. What do you see a number 4 that makes you think it’s a rooster? Just curious I have only had chickens 1 year. I got some eggs from a local farmer and hatched them in one of my incubators
4’s comb doesn’t look as big, but that’s because he has a pea comb, not a single comb like the others. It’s big for a pea comb, and pink as well. As for breeds, they’re most likely mixed breeds, and you’ll probably have to wait a bit for more adult feathers to come in before identifying what they’re mixed with. Do you know what breeds the farmer had?
Ok, thanks! I compared #4 with #1 which also has a pee comb and #4 definitely has a bigger comb. The farm I got the eggs from have a lot of different breeds. I do know he has some Ameraucana, Easter Eggers, Rhode Island Red, Production Red, marans, welsummer, orpington, speckled Sussex, Wyandotte, cinnamon queen, barred rock, austra white, etc
Ok, we are going out of town next weekend and someone else is watching my birds. So I was hoping to figure out which ones are roosters and get rid of them before I left because I also have a four month old rooster. Thanks
The color of the egg could help narrow down the breed, if you remember which eggs went with each chick
Got it. They shouldn't bother the rooster till their comb is fully developed, from my experience. Will you be back before they are 3 months old?
