they are now 6 weeks old going on what the feed store told me...

Was hoping they were hens so they didn't meet the chopping block

Sorry but at that age they are probably cockerels:/

Oh dear

thanks for your help! Any humane ideas on how to limit our boys' crowing? We really don't want to rehome them if we can help it and being cornish crosses they'll probably end up on the table in someone elses hands, we bought the lil buggers for weed control in our garden not for the table

Thanks guys! What an awesome forum for chook lovers! Glad I found it!

He will get more color as he gets older.

My girl when she was younger, and now over a year old:

He very well might be a Mille d'Uccle

He is a Millie D'Uccle. I have two just like him, a rooster and a hen and he's young. They don't get a majority of their color until after molt. If he does not have a beard then he is a Booted Bantam.
