Good thought. The two Roadrunners joined a flock of 3 big Princesses. Now three Hooligans are joining a flock of 4 big Princesses (I guess that is chicken math!) so I was thinking it might not be so different. But I do think the 3 Hooligans are more of a tribe to themselves than just 2 Roadrunners were so they may indeed feel less interest in joining the bigs.
Here is the one who I have been the most confident was a female all along.
Are these the 'reds' who may (or may not) be Cinnamon Queens?
Yes if they are Cinnamon Queens they are sex linked and the males would have been white. I got 3 chipmunks so in theory I should have 3 females. The issue is I'm not 100% sure they are Cinnamon Queens which throws the sex-link theory out the window.
Gotcha. I must say they are very pretty.
They were 11 weeks this past Tuesday. Behavior wise they do not give me rooster vibes so I think they are girls. I'm hopeful in the end I will have 3 pretty red hens. If they are the "queens" they can begin laying as early as 16 weeks old. I just do not see that happening, they are still too immature looking to begin laying in just 5 weeks time. I personally hope they are not "Queens", and some unknown red hen.
That’s an “I want to speak to YOUR manager!” Look if ever I have seen one (and after a decade in customer service retail… I’ve seen a lot of those!)
Why don’t they just toss them all in one bin and label them “Rural King Surprise”, with a subtitle of “your guess is as good as ours (or probably better) as to both gender, and breed!”
