My chicks are 8 weeks old now and I have no idea what breed these chicks are. I ordered the brown egg layers package from McMurray and I believe I may possibly have a Rooster. I am OK with having a rooster but would like to know for sure! Any help would be great!

I agree with ramirezframing, and I think you may have a male in #6.

Thanks ramirez! You really helped me out here. Here is another picture of the cochin, do you all really think he is a cockerel?

for 2 months old I'd say its a he thats alot of comb and wattle and very red for a pullet of 2 months old

I started really paying attention to his actions when I turn them out. He very well just be a male due to the fact the way he acts around the hens. I know he is still young but it seems like he is taking on the "who's your daddy" role!

 

[olgreenie]

Does anyone else have any opinions about the birds?

Well, after doing reseaerch on hens and roosters poster. I am starting to believe the E/E (pic #1) is a rooster? I really hope not due to the fact that this is my daughters baby and she will be disappointed if it is a Rooster. Any thoughts?
