Hi !
My orpington hen hatched 2 chicks, 1 died a day later. ( the dad is orpington also )This one stayed with mom inside till she started laying again and went back to the coop. He is very friendly, eats , drinks fine. He lays by the crate of astrolorps and goes in with them to play sometimes but i dont let him stay with them because there is 10 of them and they are bigger than him. The astrolorps are a few days older than him that are way bigger than him.
I was pretty sure he was a rooster. But he is 8 weeks old today and still looks very small.
So question #1 Does he look like a rooster ?
Question # 2 Should I be worried?
The 3rd picture is a Cockrell I ordered that is 4 weeks old. In my opinion it looks like a pellet. What do yall think ?
Thanks for any advice !!
