This is my dominant chick. Its a dominique and is noticably larger then the others, it also seems more aggressive toward the others. They are all almost 2 weeks old .Is it possible this is a rooster? they are all supposed to be girls. Does the little pointy thing on its comb mean anything? A pic of my other dominique
I don't see anything significant in there. Maybe someone else does. But, it may take another few weeks to tell.
Yeah, its too young to tell yet. Give it a month, if it is a he, you'll know then. She could be just a large she.
I am not really seeing much difference between them. When I started with my Dom's, one was bigger, bolder and the comb and wattles developed earlier (and RED) than the others. I swore it must be a roo. No, she was the first one to start laying and still the boldest but sweetest of the group. I'd wait and not jump to any conclusions yet.
Ok thanks again for the info everyone. Quote:Yeah this one, which my wife has now named hazel, seems to be the boss of them so far but is also the first to come check me out when I go near their little tub.
If the legs start to turn black in the next few weeks, it's a female. If they stay yellow, it's a male.
[/IMG]Any idea what breed the yellow ones could be? I know they are mutts but the roo is a barred rock ,hens ...I have no idea...Craigslist chickens and two Americanas but they didn't give me any eggs to incubate ,so def no Americana in them ....
