I don't know the breed of a roo and need confirmation of roo on a Red Star.

[skeletor807]

The Red Star is 14 weeks old. We were told she was a hen but then she started crowing and looking more and more like a rooster. We already have two roos so she/he will have to go to freezer camp if in fact she is a he.

The little rooster is 11 weeks old and is TINY! We haven't been able to figure out what he is. He was also suppose to be a hen but ended up being a rooster. We would just like to know what he is. Thanks for any help!

The small bird is an Old English game bantam, and yes the other bird is a cockerel.

Looks like a Production Red or an RIR cockerel. The bantam cockerel may be a silver duckwing OEGB

The orange cockerel looks like a New Hampshire to me.

I agree that the bantam cockerel is a silver duckwing OEGB. He should grow up to look like the rooster in my profile picture.

The first is a New Hampshire red cockerel, the smaller bird is a silver duckwing OEGB

The OEGB is so cute!

Thank you everyone for your input! After looking at pictures of Silver Duckwings, I definitely agree with your wisdom. And thank you for easing our fears that we may be slaughtering a hen instead of a rooster. Mayflower you will be missed!
