I had 20 and at 2 weeks old I separated them based on what gender I thought they were. two of the "roos" turned out to be hens.

The ones that haven't developed feathers along the back and on the wing bows are roos. Kathy, Bellville TX www.CountryChickens.com

The one I'm clear on is in the background of the 2nd photo. The one I'm unclear on is in the foreground of the 2nd photo. Last edited by a moderator: Apr 30, 2009
