Any sexing pros?

That's okay Rhode Island roosters are nice meat birds.

Oh man. Don't tell that to my daughter . We can't have roosters here in the city so he will have to go sooner rather than later, I'm afraid

How old are they?

 

[ChristieB76]

They are just under 6 weeks.

Well I'll be darn, that is a shame. Let's just keep up the hope's, but its kinda certain. I had two Rhode Island roosters and both at that age had the spurs.

Well this comes with the territory. We knew it was a possibility when we got them. I just hope the Sussex is a hen. I really REALLY like that one

I think it's, but the only thing that makes me kinda worried is it's tiny spurs.

Neither screaming cockerel yet.

Every bird has what I call "spur nubbins," regardless of gender. Presence of these on your babies means nothing. Also, roosters do not begin to develop true spurs until approximately a year of age.
