Hello everyone. I’m new to chickens so I apologize if this is a basic question but how soon is it possible to tell a rooster from a hen? I have a mixed flock of seven chicks between 2-3 weeks old. 2 Plymouth rocks, 2 Easter Eggers, 2 buff Brahmas, and 1 buff Orpington. One of my Easter Eggers is considerably larger than the other chicks already and always seems to be stirring them up. Is this normal or could it be I ended up with a male chick (90% chance of females where I purchased)?? I got the chicks for my daughter for the eggs but she is already so attached. They are basically her babies but where I live we are not allowed to keep roosters so if I need to get rid of it the sooner the better.
