So my chickens are 10 weeks old now and i’m thinking one of them might be a rooster. She’s noticeably bigger than the others and her comb is coming in a lot more. She/he doesn’t crow yet but I noticed tonight she’s making more “bawking” sounds than the others. We can’t keep roosters where I live and we’re not looking to hatch any chicks right now. I’m obviously going to wait until i’m 100% sure before we rehome him/her. But i’m hoping you guys might have some opinions or advice. I’ve attached pictures.

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC! :frow

I agree with all posters who said that is an Easter Egger cockerel (100% sure).

Craigslist farm and garden section, or your local feed store if they have a posting board are good places to help re-home chickens. :fl

For informational purposes only.. technically they are pullet or cockerel until a year old when they earn their hen and rooster badges. :)

Thanks for the info! He’s actually an Americauna. Although I guess I can’t be too sure now haha. But we did buy him at tractor supply with a couple others marked as Americaunas, which I think are similar enough to easter eggers though.
