Making a very hard descion

[MonkeyZero]

Ok As you probably have seen in this thread

https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=226524

Many are saying
SEETA is a roo
GEETA is a hen

Being in the city, we cant have roos!
SO now we came down to 2 options

1. Return the roo to the feed store, and exchange for a pullet, and I'll get attached to Geeta, and the new hen
OR
2. Keep the roo, get attached to it, then when he starts to crow, return him.


Keep in mind
I am only exchanging Seeta. Since Geeta is a pullet, she stays here.

ANd another thing
The silkies in the store, are from the same farm, will Geeta be sad, or be ok(i mean, now her sister is coming to live with her. lol

Thanks!!!

I say bring him back NOW before you get too attached. It's only going to get worse the longer you wait.

I, personally, would wait for the crow.
We have a silkie roo... and he nas NEVER crowed. My silkies really don't make much noise at all. So, if you're not allowed to have roos in the city because of the crowing, maybe he (if he is a he) won't crow. If you aren't sure he's a roo, how will the city know if he's a roo?

Oh, by the way, my response was under the assumption that he is, with a good amount of certainty, a boy. I didn't read your post carefully enough and thought that you knew for sure. I almost made the same mistake by giving a Barred Rock chick away at 5 weeks because I was paranoid and thought she was a boy. She turned out to be a Cuckoo Marans pullet.

Actaully, he just started to cock a doodle......
He is trying now. Geeta, on the other hand, is not...
