Breed and Gender?

[geckolas]

The white and red were sold to me as Rhode Island Reds but I've doubted that from the beginning. I bought the larger one as an easter egger pullet but I'm pretty sure thats the one that just crowed this morning. I think they are all about 10 weeks old. What do you think...do I have three roosters? Thanks in advance!

You have one rooster and two pullets. The one in the back in the first pic with black tail feathers is your rooster. As far as breed, they are all mixed breeds.

That read and white hen is really pretty.

I figured that was the rooster. It's head has been red for about a month and it's voice is much deeper than the other two. The others still sound like chicks so I doubted they were crowing.

I always thought the red one was a rooster. I sure hope she isn't. My sweet white one loves her!

the one up front is 300% cockerel and the other 2 appear to be pullets

I guess I have some decisions to make. My 3 year old son must have known since he named him Pluto

Pluto had to go. Here he is at the shop:




On a positive note....I just bought two guinea keets!



And now starts the search for two more chickens. I would love to buy some teenage pullets but I'm not having any luck with craigslist right now. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I LOVE GUINEAS!

i have heard that guineas make a whole lot more noise than a rooster ever thought about making
