Hello! We just got chickens in April, and recently moved them to their coop 2 weeks ago! They are loving beig outside. I am pretty sure one of my hens is really a rooster so I have to get rid of him, as we cannot have roosters where I live.

He is 2 1/2 months old, and I do not want his life to end so abruptly! Anyhow that is what's going on in my hen house for now

Welcome to BYC - yes, the bird pictured is, unfortunately, a cockerel (young rooster).

Thanks everyone! I am hoping to regime him in a good home! We live where we can't have roosters. Once he is re homed we will have 5 hens left. We bought the 6 of them together (sexed, because I knew if I did straight run I would end up with all roosters!)
