Hi! My name is Susan from Washington state. This is my first time raising chickens from chicks. Its very exciting to watch them grow. We have 6 easter eggers who are about 5 weeks old and I'm Wonder if there's anyway to tell at this age...if any are roosters. One of them started to make a very interesting, different noise today. So if anyone knows-I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
