Do #3 and #5 stand more erect and show more aggression? Hope they are not roos

 

[dkam]

#3 definitely has been. I had to separate my 3 Black Australorps because of this guy. He was pecking at them very aggressively and didn't let them eat. I'm not sure about #5 though..

I don't want to give number three a death sentence but I think he's a he. Someone on Craigslist should be glad to give him a good home.

3 is a cockerel for sure

3 is screaming cockerel to me

Yeah, I'd watch that number 3.

Thank you all! What about #5? Or any others?

Think you'll have to wait a week or two before you'll know.
