EE ... Cockerel?

[salunra]

I ordered a sexed EE pullet, but I am pretty sure that she is actually a he. What do you think?

9 weeks old

 

[Lots A Cluckin]

yes that is a cockerel

 

[salunra]

That is what I thought. My kids are going to be so sad. Despite the fact that Chip is the hardest chick to catch, they just love him.

Everyone always loves the roos the best, sorry.

 

[salunra]

Yup. Don't mind having a roo around, but we also have 7 Swedish flower hen cockerels and they are a lore more personable. I just don't think poor Chip is going to end up being my choice to keep.

i would wait till he reaches at least 6-7 months to give him a chance and to also check out his coloring and personality (is he aggressive, does he treat the ladies right)

 

[salunra]

Oh yeah. I am not making any firm decisions yet. They are all only 2 months old. He might actually turn out to be a good roo. He is just skitish right now. Doesnt come near people, etc. Which may be a good thing.

My SFH cockerels are completely different. They are always underfoot. I actually have taken to calling one "Punt" because half the time I end up kicking him because he is right ON my feet. A sweet boy though, my Punt.

Yeah, that's a he, sorry. He's beautiful though.
