Identity roosters?

Darn, maybe they are not showing yet, but i think they are all female

Were you wanting a male?

I don't see any obvious boys in these pictures.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Agreed. All the birds pictured appear to be female.

I was hoping for one rooster. Oh well

I guess it's okay if we don't have one?

 

[T-R-O-U-B-L-E]

Yep. It is fine, but I dont know what I would do without mine. I bet you can find one near you. Probably even here on BYC. Where do you live?

Unless you’re planning on raising chicks, you don’t really need a rooster. They do have some benefit for flock protection if you free range. You could easily pick up a rooster somewhere along the way. People give them away for free all the time.

My brother might give me one of his, but he 5 hr away. i see plenty of ads locally for free rooster.

Would it integrate well or would they all fight the newbie?

There will be some squabbles even if you integrate properly. It's usually better to get a young cockerel chick and let the lens raise him with manners, maybe when summer gets here.

I was in that position this past spring with 4 straight-run chicks, wanting a boy, and getting all girls.

Where are you? Someone nearby might have one.

In Central NC, I've got 3 Blue Australorp boys available.
