Breed, gender, color for four week olds. INCLUDES ADORABLE PICTURES!!!

[Three Little Bunnies]

These four are four weeks old. They are from the assorted bantam bin at TSC. Anyone know what breed, color, and gender they are?

Pretty sure Jenny is a Buff Cochin pullet.

This is Cherie.

I was thinking that Dorothy is a ISA Brown pullet who was put in the bantam bin on accident.

Trying to figure out Emily’s color.

You are correct that Jenny is a Buff Cochin pullet. Cherie is a Barred Cochin cockerel, and Emily is a Gold Laced Cochin cockerel.

I'm unsure of breed on Dorothy, but I would agree she's a pullet. It wouldn't surprise me at all if TSC did put a LF in the bantam bin.

Thanks! A little disappointed about so many boys, but oh well. Hopefully they don't fight.

You're welcome! Wouldn't be a bad idea to grab a few more sexed pullets.

Emily and Cherie are cockerels. I dont recommend keeping both unless you plan of getting around 15 more pullets.

I actually also have 13 hens who are currently 7 months old or so. Would the fifteen total hens be enough for two cockerels?

Possibly. I've read 10 hens per roo is a good ratio.
