Hen or Rooster?

[Tward]

Oh yeah, those are pullets, and you have yourself a nice little trio.

You think they are all pullets? The one in question has a bright red comb and bigger wattles than the other two. It’s also lighter in color but I don’t know if that matters in Dominiques.

No, sorry, I was thinking in breeding terms, 1 boy and 2 girls.

By trio I meant 1 male: 2 females.

I believe you are right. I’m not allowed to have roosters. I’ll need to find this one a new home.

I'd try no crow rooster collars first. Also, I know a lot of towns have this rule, but aren't hens louder than roosters? With the clucking and egg songs and such. I know they crow, (no crow rooster collars stop crowing for the most part) I wish people started liking the crow noise again!

I will look into the rooster collars. I wish they did too. I’m so close to the city limit line but not close enough.

My Pet Chicken has them, I'll check avalibiliy for you. Imagine the cute little Dominique chicks you could sell.

9.5 week old leghorn, my parents aren't convinced that the first picture is a rooster. Second picture is a hen ( I think) for comparison. The "rooster" is also larger and more aggressivethan the other chickens.

They are in stock, totally humane, and come with instructions.

I'd agree, here's mine! You can kinda see her in the bottom.
