I bought two Easter Eggers. They are about 3 months I believe. The golden one I think is a pullet, but the black and white is starting to act like a roo. I have heard that a hen can become dominant and have the same attitudes though. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!!

One cock, one pullet

Thanks for the replies and reassurance. I think I am looking for issues, my own younger set do spar some too . I just wish I could un-see where they came from (they were living in a tub in excrement no visible shavings or other bedding) it has me worried about every little thing.

They're fortunate the previous owner let them go. People get chicks they aren't prepared to care for far too often. It's possible they're Easter chicks... Easter was 50 days ago so they would have hatched in the week prior to it making them roughly 8 weeks old.

I can't figure out how to add this to my other reply. Ugh.

He isn't a Cochin/silkie mix. He wouldn't have silkied feathers if he were. He's a cuckoo silkie, and an unusual find at a swap.

Thanks for the info, I've never heard of cuckoo silkie before. My 11 year old daughter gave $5 for him at the stock swap. The people she bought him from said they'd never heard him crow, and never seen him breed. Doesn't matter, he'll be our pet.

The SS is 7 weeks? The feathering looks very delayed.

I suspect the first GLW may be a cockerel by comb color.
