So my first batch of chickens I ended up with 5 (possibly 6) out of 9 cockerels which were all bought labeled as sexed pullets. Rookie mistake thanks TSC. We have a friend that will use them for dinner so I passed them on and bought a dozen more to replace them.
I integrated the littler ones into the coop using a wire dog kennel once fully feathered and all worked great. They’ve been together in the run for 12+ hrs a day for a week now successfully, doing the whole pecking order thing, but all of the sudden our EE has decided to start charging the littles from across the run. I posted when the EE was around 6 weeks and also when it was around 2 months and everyone thought it was a pullet. Would it charge the littles and try to hold them down if that was the case? I thought that was more of a move for a cockerel.
Lastly, I bought these labeled as Golden Comets but all the pictures I’m finding I haven’t run across any with the grey head/neck. It’s getting greyer the bigger they get. I don’t really care what they are.. they’re SO pretty.. but I’m just curious on what everyone’s opinions are of their breed.
