New to Chickens!

[Marinette]

Hello!
My husband and I made a major change in our lives about three years ago and moved to a small hobby farm in Kansas. This last spring we got our first batch of chicks. We thought we were getting 10 hens but ended up with two roos in the mix! We are still trying to identify all the breeds and am hoping someone can help identify the breed of the ones I'm not sure about. To start with, I would like some help with this rooster-Reilly.


He is a beautiful bird with iridescent green on his feathers and a fluff of white feathers at the base of his tail. He is more calm and quiet than our other rooster (a barred rock) if that helps. Also, I'm wondering if roosters have their own pecking order and would Reilly become more aggresive if we found a new home for our barred rock?

Sorry, I can't tell what kind of rooster he is.

Sorry I don't know either but you can try the experts in the What Breed or Gender section.

Welcome to BYC. Yes your Barred Rock is more dominant over Reilly, pecking order. Once you give your BR away, Reilly will show his dominance over the hens. I dont know what breed Reilly is, sorry.
