Here are my two Jubilees...Chesty Pullet and GW McClintock....pullets or cockerels?

Yes, that's what I thought, but the oldest boy swears they're roos! At 6.5 months, they haven't started nesting yet. They both like to pick at the butts of the weaker lavender Orps.

Glad to meet you. What an unusual problem to have! It's usually the other way around. We are thrilled to see the Jubilees - we are all chicken aficionadoes (or perhaps addicts is the right word!). Best wishes!

To find a rooster: You can post to your Virginia thread, and mention more specifically your town or county so folks know how likely you are to be interested in their fella. (or if you are near a border to another state, you can post there, too). Besides asking members if they have a rooster (and that is VERY likely), you might ask if they can recommend a breeder.

Back Yard Chickens also has a For Sale or Trade section, and a Free Rehoming section where again, you would note your location. Be sure to monitor your post after you put it up. Unlike Craigslist, nothing goes to your email - it just shows up as a response on the post you put up. There are always lots of roosters looking for good homes. Just be sure to ask good questions about why the bird is leaving, temperament, breeding, raising info. And then quarantine and then introduce the boy from your existing flock so you don't import some disease that wipes out all your lovely chickens!

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!

Greetings and salutations from central Virginia! I have been dealing with chickens since 2019 when I started dating my girlfriend (now wife). After two flocks, she was down to her last Bardrock when I got her two each of Black Australorps, Rhode Island and New Hamphire Reds, and Buff Orpingtons. Out of that flock, we lost two Buff Orpingtons (one to cat and one to stress), a Black Australorp (fox at new house), a Rhode Island Red (she looked like an eagle and we called her America, but her sisters pecked her to death). We had five left over and earlier this year we (I) decided to add 10 Buff Orpingtons and five Lavenders. We had stopped at Tractor Supply when they were having a bizarre and ended up with two Jubille Orpingtons for $30. We were told they were roosters, well, that is why I am here basically because I believe they are hens! If I am to have 22 hens, I am going to be in the market for a rooster anywhere from 7mos to 13mos.

More to follow....
