I have had the chicks for 2 to 3 months roughly. I'm not sure of their ages, but none of the chicks are laying yet. I think I may have two or three Roo's.
I hope you can help me decide as I only want one
* Here's Moe: Rose Comb Rhode Island Red (hoping it's a roo)
Moe tends to act with macho-ness and leadership as the others tend to follow Moe's lead. Moe is very docile toward people and animals.
* Here's Paris Chilton: Rose Comb Rhode Island Red/Ameraucana (if it's a roo we'll change the name to Pierre)
Paris is the smallest of the group and does not show any agressiveness/macho-ness. Paris is the "chicken" of the bunch. Not brave and stays very near a motherly type chicken. Paris doesn't want much to do with humans, but doesn't mind the animals. Paris has recently started venturing away from the motherly chicken, but when notices it's away from the comfort zone runs back to the motherly chick.
*And finally here's Goldie: Braggs Mountain Buff (Yes, it's white, not buff. From the BMB website: "There remains, however, an occasional recessive gene for white feather color which exists to the extent that about five percent of Braggs Mountain Buff chickens may turn out to be white.")
Goldie has an agressive side while roosting and stands ground when confronted by Moe. The two BMB's tend to go off, each by themself, not caring what anyone else is doing or where anyone else is in the yard. For reference here is the BMB website with a few pics of Roo's and Hens for compairison http://www.braggsmountainpoultry.com/
I hope with your help I will be able to figure out who's what. I only have room for 8 chicks and would like one of them to be a roo. Thanks for your help
