Your welcome!

Yes, you can have a flock with more than one roo. If their raised together they tend not to fight but if they've never met they can fight and you need to be careful because once I had two brother roos and one killed the other so if you do put them together keep a close eye on them.

How old are they? I think 1 is a pullet and 2 is a roo.

I'm not 100% sure of their age...but I believe they are around 6 weeks old now. The farmer I had purchased them from said they were about 4 weeks and it's been around 2 weeks + since we've got them. They've practically tripled in size it's so crazy!

At that age I think their probably both pullets. Small comb and small wattles at 6 weeks usually mean pullets. It could easily change though!

That's my thoughts, all the other ones (other than the youngest and gimpy) are pullets i think as they all are around that age with smaller combs than gimpy who is about the same age, plus the difference in feathering, it's giving me hope LOL

Ok.

Please tell me what they turn out to be!
