Hi everyone,
A friend of mine has had a group of mutt chickens for about a month and a half now. He purchased eight or nine, I can't remember exactly how much, but I do know they are supposed to be a cross between Leghorn's and Buff's.
Anyway, he doesn't know what sex any of them are for sure... they're almost exactly the same age as my Buff hens - 11 weeks.
He couldn't e-mail me any pictures of them for whatever reason but he's going to try to do that soon. He is almost certain that two or three of them are roo's but he has yet to hear one of them crow.
Newbie question: At what age would a big Leghorn/Buff mix crow, if it is indeed a roo?
If I can get any pictures of them I'll post them up so everyone can take a guess but I would have thought that the gender differences would be obvious by 11 weeks.
