I think 2 of my 6 chickens are Roosters.

I think I have two Roosters (orderd all females). They were born the 1st week in August.

This is "Tiny" and is much bigger than the other chickens.

This one is the other one we think is a Rooster:

This is the whole group:

What do you think? Oh and 2 days ago I started to hear faint crowing from the coup.

I think You are right

The 2nd one is definitely a rooster. The 1st one is a little harder to tell in the pic, but I think it's a rooster too.

 

[HEChicken]

I don't try to guess on EE's but the second is definitely a cockerel.

 

[mycutekitties]

Is it dangerous having more than one Rooster? Do they fight as they get older? I am thinking we need to re-home one.

I bought 5 americana pullets and 2 were also roos.....they were delicious

Hi mycutekitties and welcome to BYC!
I do believe you have yourself two young roosters. Will they fight as they get older? That's anybodys guess. What is most definitely going to happen though is that your hens will get overmated, with there only being four pullets/hens to two cockerels.
If I was in your position I would find one of the boys a home. Sorry.

By the way, sexing is only 90% accurate at best, so even if you order all pullets, roos happen.

Both roos.

 

[mycutekitties]

I don't think I can eat my pet.

I have had them since they were 1 week old. They slept in our house for 3 weeks.

I think I would rater give them away before I ate them (even tho my husband wants to eat him). I do think that soon that 1 will go.
Thanks for the welcome.
