Name the eggs! Choose your baby to root for!

I kept 2 bantam roosters in a flock with 36 hens. It only worked because both were extremely docile and the head hen was a Jersey Giant who tolerated no crap.

My current flock has 22 hens/pullets and 6 additional pullet chicks. My current cockerel was bought as a pullet. He is the only male.

I would say no to adding more males unfortunately.

My boy Quin.

That's my girl!! Hey Izzy!

She's the chipmunk one beside Dolly. I'll try to get another photo today. She kept wiggling like a baby worm.

He is gorgeous!

Thank you!
I had nothing to do with it lol. He simply is what he is. As long as he remains a good boy he gets to stay.

All my boys get along, it's the damage to the hens and pullets that's the problem. I sold most of my boys last Monday but I still have more I need to move out.

Those that need to go are as follows, one English Orpington, two gold Spitzhauben, two cochins bantams. I think that's all.

That's what worries me about my neighbor's rooster. I bought Snape bc he was gonna be the big boy in charge. Idk what to do. I'm only keeping maybe 3 of the babies bc I have 6 pullets already. If my back yard was fenced in I'd keep all the girls but it's not and we rent. So the run/coop we have is big enough for maybe 8/9 hens. It will be bigger this spring when we add to it. Plus I will let them out to eat bugs in the front yard.

What breed is he?

What breed is he?

He is a Sapphire Gem. I knew immediately when I set the chicks into the brooder that I had a boy. He was twice the other gems size even at just 4 days old.
