Hello all,
I need help determining if my pullet is really a rooster. When I got them in April, they all were suppose to be females, but one turned out to be a rooster. They are now 15 and 16 weeks old and other than the rooster, I think two more have started crowing. I am not entirely sure what breed they are, but I have been reseaching and I think 3 are Production Reds, 2 Barred Rock mix, and Jersey Giant.
The one give me the most trouble is Jackie (16 weeks) PR in the second picture. She/he crows more than the one we know is a rooster and now, very aggressive. The second one is named Flo (15 weeks) She/he is the BR standing in front on the right and just started crowing this past wekend and sounds like he/she is trying to hard to crow majority of the time. Jackie has been crowing for two week or more and sounds just them as the BR. I wanted all egg layers and the rooster was a big surprise, but we decided to him. Now the possibility of having three roosters is getting annoying and may have to go. Any help with determining their gender and breed is greatly appreciated.
