I got lucky. Two of ten being cockerels (maybe a third but the feathers don't seem to support that). It was intended to eat extras, I just really like the markings on one. BR dad and SS mom.Welcome to our little group.That is the unfortunate part about buying unsexed and or incubating your own eggs, about half will be cockerels every time. LOL
Can you keep one?
If the flock allows it.
Thank you, we have ducks also and Chewy turned into a butthead unfortunately and went off to freezer camp.
He deserved it.Thank you, we have ducks also and Chewy turned into a butthead unfortunately and went off to freezer camp.
I save what I thought was five pullets back and this morning the one started to crow, I would have bet the farm he was a she! LOL
Chewy was a friendly little guy until his hormones' kicked in and he became way to aggressive toward me every morning with his hackles raised and spurs in the air, that got old!
Some think happened to me (kind of). We got an Ayam cemani “pullet”. Now the weird think was that the guy that we bought ”her” from, let us choose which one we wanted. He had a bunch of rooster, and hens, together, so you could CLEARLY a see which was a hen and which a rooster. So obviously, we picked The “hen”. Well, a few weeks passed, and as I was about to go back inside after feeding the chickens, I heard a crow. Now, I’ve never heard this crow, and it sounded really close. I stayed around to see who crowed, and then I figured it out. The ”hen” was somehow a rooster. Still stumped at how that happened
Oh yippee! Probably for the summits. I have been hearing n g and I see a good sized cold front along with some moisture from the south floating around.
I am far from being any kind of a chook expert, but ours had the more rounded feathers like a pullet over the other cockerels and all the other eight cockerels have all been crowing now for weeks. I am guessing a late bloomer! LOL
