I think I have a roo

[ilovedragons2]

I think "Louie" is a roo. This is one of three I bought that are supposed to be EE. The other two are smaller and more petite. I also noticed that they have different colored legs, two have bluish and the last yellow. Is this chicken a "Louie" or a "Louise

how old its hard to tell with the solid colored birds

I am assuming that this one is a rooster because it's built different from the others. "Louie" has a redder crest, is larger, and that tail is held high. If it is a rooster, do I need to do anything different in raising it? Can a rooster be as tame and friendly as a hen?

 

[hdowden]

you dont need to do anything different for them. depends on his temperament when he hits puberty, some are just the sweetest things while others you better watch out they become chicken stew

roosters can be friendlier than hens! If they're EE's than it means nothing if they're different. every EE will be different. maybe if the other ones are very similar than they probaly had similar or the same parents. From the picture I say hen but a clearer picture would help
