I think I have another rooster!?!

[RN off the grid]

We just recently rehomed our BR rooster, Bernie, due to neighbor complaints.

Now our fresh group of supposed pullet chicks from TSC is looking like it contained yet another rooster.

Do you agree? We're thinking he's a Wyandotte? Yes/no?!?

Anybody in NC who wants this pretty guy??? He hasn't started crowing yet, but I can't go through all the trouble with the neighbors again!

I really wanted a SLW hen too...

When I pick up chicks I usually get 2-3 more of any given breed than what I wanted - this is because if you get just one you are all but guaranteed to lose the "sexing oops lotto", especially if it is a breed you really, really want. Having a few increases the chance of getting at least one actual pullet and the extra birds can be sold off as their gender becomes sure and you narrow your favorites out of the bunch. This can also be helpful if you are looking for birds with particular markings as you can keep the best marked and sell off the rest.
