These 2 keep confusing us. I've had barred rocks before (as well as many others) but never dominiques. Are these cockerels or pullets? I'd think they'd have crowed by now but they do fluff up their neck feathers & play fight & one in particular seems quite dominant.
TIA,
Kristi

The second is a good pic.I just don't know. I would of thought they would of layed or crowed by now being 4 months old.Tthere combs and wattles are awful red so they might be about to lay.im not sure. Hope someone else knows

Yep...my thoughts exactly... the laying in Tx 100+* heat I understand holding off on but the crowing sure seems like it'd be happening. I need to get some boxes for them. The 6mnth old barred girls & RIR girls aren't laying either though.

Looking at those tail feathers, so I am going to go with cockerel.Maybe someone else will chime in.

Really. Maybe it is the heat.I live in indiana and the most recent RIRs I had layed at 4 months old.
