Hello, and welcome to BYC. The white bird is a cockerel, and perhaps an Easter Egger.

Thank you for replying I so appreciate it and yes I’ve just googled and Easter egger looks identical. I feel bad because the Egger relies on the white one for support, my hybrids are getting better with them and I’m putting them in the coop when it’s dark. I don’t know what to do because I can’t keep the cockerel do you think I should get rid of both together? I’m going to contact field of dreams rescue to see if they’ll take him. Or if anyone else would like him on here? xxxx

Hi, I feel so sorry for him but i can’t keep him because I’m on a housing estate, I’ve got 2 hybrids and I can keep the brown one if it’s a chicken but I’ve just registered him on British hen welfare trust so I’m hoping he’ll get a home. Rescues can’t take him they’re all full xxxx

I didn’t join to get rid although that would be amazing I’m so grateful to you guys because I know what they are now I joined many, many years ago when I first had my feathered friends and as time went buy I cancelled because all was going well and the chickens I get now are from a large farm that are super responsible. My first were from what I know now as shockingly sad and disgusting but as you know I’ve registered them on a charity that re-homes if they can but in the meantime I’ve been busyI’ve spoken to all my neighbours, told them the story and said what are your thoughts on us trying this and seeing if we can make it work. If not I’ll have him put to sleep. I don’t know anything about cockerels he’s literally my first encounter so I soooo need you now I’m struggling to see at this moment in time how he can be a problem because he’s a sweetheart and a scaredy-cat. I can’t leave him for foxes or to starve to death so I’ll need to discuss death and kindness if it doesn’t pan out. I paid to have my last Chuck put to sleep by a vet because she had a tumour and the others had started to attack her. I don’t think it was the best death and my vet said it’s difficult to euthanasia a hen. I’ve been blessed that they’ve always passed naturally. So I’ve suddenly been thrown into the world of rookie But I’ve learned my lesson and won’t leave again xxxx
