Hi! I am finally joining after using this site as a reference for 3 years. I live in a suburban area that only allowing 5 hens per household. Our family raised Rhode Island Reds and Golden Lace Wyandottes from chicks. A recent bobcat attack left us with only one RIR. We are now raising an Ameracauna and an Orphington and we rescued a juvenile rooster. I am not sure we will be able to keep the rooster but he has helped our lone hen recover from her grief. My current concern is that the Orphington may be a roo. We are at 2 months. What do you all think?

Welcome to the BYC!! It's wonderful to have you join.

The gold one does look to be a roo, but a very cute roo at that♡

Welcome to BYC!! I’m sorry about your lost hens, but the BO does seem to be a cockerel.

Any guesses on the breeds of this one. Rescued from a feed store 5 weeks ago. Just started crowing
