Newbie Hobby Farmer Here!

[Onlysony]

Hello All! I've been reading this forum for a bit but am new to country life in every aspect. My spouse and I are from Canada and recently moved from a city in BC to a rural acreage in Alberta. We have 4 mini nubian goats (mom and 3 babies) and 6 teenager chickens from a batch my mom hatched. They were born mid-April. I have a feeling some of them are roosters...can any of you help me sex them? What do you all do with the extra roosters?

Welcome to BYC.

Hello and welcome to BYC. I hope that you enjoy your time here. I’d suggest taking pics of each bird separately and posting them on this forum - Breed / Gender I.D. Cockerels I would sell for meat once they were of a size worth eating.

This is a useful link to take a look at - “How to...” guides. You may wish to consider including your location (using the guide in the link above). You can use this link to contact members in your area - Canada

Best wishes

Welcome to BYC. You have several cockerels. When you can post individual pictures in the gender/breed forum. Cockerels make great fryers.

Hello Onlysony.
Welcome to BYC.
The roosters people can't keep they usually eat.
