At 10weeks old it’s safe to say he is a boy😆

His crown currently stands at 3.5cm (about an inch and a half), any guesses on how big that thing is going to get???

What a beauty! We have nine chicks, around seven weeks old. So far it seems we have all girls. Are you able to keep a rooster?

Thanks! Yes i can keep roosters. He is actually the son of my current white leghorn rooster, crossed with a barred rock mother. I enjoy having a rooster around to protect the flock and so I can incubate my own eggs…well as long as he is well behaved. I don’t keep roosters that become aggressive to people.

Yeah, so far this is the only chick I’ve hatched that looks like this. I have a mixed flock and all the other chicks I’ve gotten from my leghorn roosters have been solid white so I usually haven’t been able to tell who the mom is. I think this little dude is pretty cool though.
