ISA brown rooster???

[dabe81]

I've raised isa brown for years now and had an incident last winter with coyotes pulling down my fencing and gaining access to my coop and devistating my hens. This spring I bought 20 new babies and am raising them in my garage till the weather warms up and can put them into the coup. I have never before seen a male come out of any of the ones I have brought into my flock and one of the chicks shows signs of possibly being a male. It's much larger than the other hens, all white feathers, and the comb is developing faster as well. There isn't a lot of information about isa brown roosters on the internet so I was curious if anyone else has seen one before?

Welcome!

I am sorry to hear of your devastating loss but also pleased that you are giving it another go.

Sorry, I am not experienced with Isa Browns but you could try posting some individual pictures of the chick in question on the Breed & Gender Forum for opinions: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Could be a rooster! I agree with above. You should post in the other section of the forum!

Are you allowed to string some electrified wires on the outside of your coop fencing.? Give the coyotes a warm welcome. Please post on the predator threads for more safekeeping suggestions.
