Hello all,
Out of the thirteen chicks that we bought, we believe two of them are roosters (we thought they only sold hens). Anyway, both are barred rocks and I don't know if this is going to cause a problem in the future. I'm still hoping that both are just manly hens, but since this is the first time owning chickens I just don't know. Both are way bigger than the other gals and both have larger red combs but they also both have a grey streak running down there legs (which I read was a sure bet that they were hens). So, back to my main question, if they are indeed both roosters....will it be a problem having two boys for eleven gals? Thanks for y'alls help.
