BLRW - hen or roo?

[KDrake]

Hey everybody! I have been starting to question the gender of our Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. She/He was sold as a pullet. She/He is about 11 weeks old. In one of the pictures, you can see our other BLRW in the background for comparison. What do you think?

That’s ok it’s easy to do
Definitely a cockerel, handsome young guy.

So, this would be our 2nd rooster then. We have 11 hens (hopefully no more surprises!) Is that a good ratio? Will there be any problems we need to look out for?

It could, so just be on the lookout. Some people say for every rooster have ten hens, so you could potentially be in for trouble, but this can depend on the roosters personalities, so for now just be vigilant. Hopefully you won’t have any problems.
