Hello! Im a second time chicken momma and convinced that one of the the Australorps is a cockerel! Can some of you experts confirm? The chicks are about 7 weeks old and Dare2Dream will take him back if a roo, but should I get an exchange? Will a new 7-8 week pullet be accepted by the other three?
First to confirm my suspicions!
The first three are of Ellie (suspect this is really an Eric)
Next up is Io and Obie, with Io in the back.
Then is Obie on her own and lastly its Callie.
Ellie always dashes ahead when I approach, pecks at my camera, wants to peck my fingers and generally stands tall, Ellie also had almost no tail, just three stringy feathers when she/he first started off. It took 5 weeks before i even saw tail feathers. She also trashes her legs about like crazy when I pick her up to take her outside. (her/him)
so??? I have a roo?
