I cant figure out how to add pictures to threads yet, my ipone says to type in image url, but i dont know how to do that and my work computer doesnt let me add anythng. if you dont mind can you look at my profile and tell me if i have a rooster, i have been placing pics of mine every week. 2 ameraucana, 1 barred rock, 1 RIR 3.5 weeks now, if i have a rooster wht week do they start crowing?

in your iPhone photo library just pick you picture hold your thumb down and click "copy" then while typing your thread simply hold down your thumb again and click "paste". This should place the photo in your thread. It's difficult to see your profile picture clearly enough to see much. Try to get a pic of not only the chickens face but also his tail/saddle feathers.

The one on top looks like a hen. The bottom left looks like a roo to me based on the long feathers near the butt. I too was on BYC when I first got chickens just over a year ago but now after raising several birds of different breeds its pretty easy to spot a roo. I'm not always accurate but have been about 95% right either way you have beautiful birds!

Thank you iheartchickies!! I still haven't heard my silver sebright crow, (the one on the bottom left) so i dont think its a roo. I love raising chickens and ducks! It's so fun!
