I just love Mercury's mohawk. What character they have.
Glad to see the newest are doing well, all cute and fluffy.

Hi! Im just east of Fountain CO (directly south of Colo spgs) in Hanover, CO. We just moved here and I have 10 chicks in the brooder. its our first flock, so we went to big R, and might have ended up with more cockerels than I wanted. They have a 90% guarantee of it being female, but the odds must have been against me!
Its nice to see so many Coloradans on here

Is that just 3 in there or is there one in the way back?

and to the ever growing Colorado thread.
Bummer about a bunch of cockerels. How old are you little ones? How many males does it look like you ended up with?
I am up in the Loveland area myself.

We are on week 4ish, but they could be almost 6 weeks old, the big r folks couldn't say exactly how old the chicks were. We could have 4 or 5 cockerels. Im crossing my fingers for 2 though, easier to rehome one than 3!
My kids have already told me we won't be eating the chickens after they get too old to lay eggs, I don't know about the roosters though. (Its kind of a pain to separate roosters when I only have 1 coop).

I know what you mean about both the rehoming and the separating them being difficult.
What breed/s did you choose. It could be you have some early developing hens. (hoping)

Heh, I asked for 5 brown and 5 black chicks. They were All together in a big tank.

this is one of 4 that look the same still.
