Mystery Chick strikes again

[shasimon96]

Had no idea what breed we got when we got our chicks, just knew they were pullets. Well, we identified them the best we could, but now we're thinking we have another surprise...'she' wouldn't happen to be a 'he' would 'she'?

Looks like a cockerel to me.

I would estimate the chick is maybe aroudn 4 weeks old? That is a lot of red comb and wattle so I would guess boy too!

 

[farmer boy]

yup thats a cockerel

 

[shasimon96]

Yup! Almost 4 weeks...hmmm we might have to find him a new home if it is in fact a roo

im noticing that mystery chicks tend to be boys

is this a way of getting rid of boys for hatcheries

We got all 6 of ours out of the mixed pullet bin at TSC, so we were expecting 6 hens, just didn't know the breeds. Rambi (or I suppose Rambo now) was supposed to be a hen.

There is only ever 90% accuracy on sexed pullets, so you do often get a rooster or two even in pullet batches. He's a cute little guy, though.

Looks like we need to find him a new home, can't have two roos. I'll put something up in the classifieds.
