Just picked up my first flock of Rhode island red's. 6 to be exact.
I requested all hens, and I was told they are 2 months old. I do not know how to tell a male from a female chicken. Especially at this age. At least one of them seems a little more aggressive (even bit me! lol) and worries me that it may be a rooster. How can i tell?
Also, they seem to engage in a fight, or almost fight somewhat often. Is this common?
