Your red-and- white cockerel is very pretty.

You have a trio of Easter Eggers (one cockerel, two pullets.) Is the next one a bantam? What hatchery was she from/did TSC order from? I would naturally say Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam, but the slate legs are odd. Perhaps a Phoenix if large fowl

That’s what I’m confused about because the cockerel was supposed to be a pullet. Is this normal? They have all been from TSC because I didn’t have time to actually order and receive this year with this glorious covid.

He is definitely a cockerel, hatcheries often mis-sex their birds :/

Haha. TSC screws it up again.
But, vent sexing won’t get you an accuracy any higher than 90%.

Dang it. I already have 4 Roos to deal with thanks to TSC. he’s too pretty so maybe he’ll luck out and be our main rooster.

Wow! How many birds altogether?

Altogether we have 22, I guess now 5 Roos and 17 hens. They all have their own he s depending on age (except our white barred that we just found out about). Should I try to let it be with that many roosters or try to rehome some? I have seen they have a pecking order.

Yeah, too many. You can have one boy, two mellow ones at most.

I’d just say easter egger, do keep in mind that they’re not pure breeds and by definition can be anything that could lay a blue/green egg. If she lays a dark green egg then I’d assume she has Marans in her history somewhere.

I wondered if I was the only one saying EE I say that because if the red on the wing
