Yeah know that I take a closer look those are either extremely poor quality or mixed. And is it just me or does does bird #1 have an extremely broad chest?

He IS quite heavy, and larger than #2.

He looks like a meat bird cross to me...

They didn't have any meat birds on the property but who knows. I guess time will tell.

Probably not a meat bird cross, then.

Pretty sure they are both gentlemen ... just doing an update for the heck of it. I will do another in another week or so. ( I feel like they have grown SO much since I put them outside) they are 7 weeks old now.
#1

And #2

Neither have overly red combs, but this one has pretty red wattles. Either way, my bet is still both dudes.

Another update....if anyone is out there They are starting to get interesting colored feathers and look less like Barred rocks

This is #2

And #1

And them together (#1 is behind and #2 infront)

@RoostersAreAwesome any guesses on gender? Maybe I should make a separate post for that? Or do we think they are definitely boys? They are now 8 weeks.

They are cockerels.
