Just asking whats pullets? Roosters?

Pullets are female chickens less than a year old. An older female chicken is called a hen. (Although some people, in some places, will call a pullet a hen when she's less than a year old but has been laying eggs for a while. Others might say she isn't a hen until her first adult moult, which could be more like 18 months than a year old. Generally people mean a female chicken that's less than a year old, though.)

A cockerel is a male chicken that's less than a year old. An older male chicken is called a cock or a rooster.

Rir cockerels tend to be a bit feisty, as I've heard, lol. I also have a meal maker and a homestead helper on my order, praying for anything but a Rhode Island red since I already have a pullet and don't want an aggressive roo

I'm sorry, but "homestead helper" sounds too much like "hamburger helper". lol

Well my homestead helper bites and is likely to become soup helper!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! But man, was he a cute little thing when they got here! Just look at the poof.

Rhode Island red chicks might be the cutest breed. I have one and she is probably the cutest chick ive ever raised.

Is he going to become soup?

Lol if he doesn't stop biting me he is. I reached down to pull shavings out of their feeder, and he bit me. I said, "boy when you're bigger, you're gonna become soup if you don't stop that!" From there it progressed to me calling him Soup. Even if he straightened out and stuck around, I think he'd forever be called Soup now!
