Something interesting has happened. So, I had two white ones like the picture above and they both were with the orange one. They're coloring suggested roo but no crowing, no foam.. as many suggested, I think maturing slower.
So, I have had the orange one in a bachelor pad in garage for a couple of days. In the meantime, I moved 1 hen and the 1 quiet roo down to first floor where I only had 3 hens. This left 1 white/red quiet roo with 4 hens each on each level.
The previous bullied roo kicked in suddenly and started chasing and mounting his hens on the first level. The 3 existing hens accepted the hen/roo pair no problems at all so far.
Today, I tried to add the orange roo to the 2nd level, as it is extremely hot in the garage and thought I could buy some time til the other white roo matures to decide. Immediately, the hens rejected him (possibly in garage too long) and the quiet roo suddenly found his crow.
I'm guessing this decides the coveys now... 2 white/red roos with their five hens. Also, what is the coloring of that orange roo? Manchurian? August Autumn?
