Light Brahma - Is Whoopi a Roo?

[LorettaMI]

I got these two Light Brahmas as pullets about 12 weeks ago from Family Farm and Home. There is a significant difference between Whoopi and Lucy. Whoopi has always been larger and is showing signs of being a rooster. I'm new at chicken raising so would love your thoughts. Thanks!

Definitely looks like Whoopi is a lovely rooster.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I did not plan on having a rooster but am happy. He is friendly and we will continue to work with him in hopes that he will be a nice guy.

So instead of Whoopi, is his new name Whoops? LOL.

Whoops would be a great name
