I already know the answer, but have to ask.....ARE THEY ROOSTERS???

My beautiful marans....DH heard one of them crow yesterday. I am going to be so bummed if they are roosters!!!!

Suspect #1:

Suspect #2:

Both are roos - sorry

 

[sadies chicks]

Ugh, I knew it. But aren't they gorgeous???

 

[K Spot]

Very.

Are you able to keep them?

 

[sadies chicks]

In theory yes, however that would make a total of 3 roos out of 13 chickens. I will most likely, and unfortunately, rehome all 3 of them. I am super bummed, I was going to be ok with one roo, but just can't do 3.

 

[sadies chicks]

Orrrrrr, I could just get more hens to even things out

 

[CochinBrahmaLover]

10 hens to 3 Roos isn't that bad, if you rehomed 1 then kept 1 (Maran wise) then you could def. have a 1:5 ratio

 

[K Spot]

Yes - I think that would be a good idea

 

[sadies chicks]

Oh I had thought it was a 1:10 ratio. Hmmm, let me think on this..... I have always wanted roosters
