I knew it! 

any rooster tips?? haha

Handle him as much as possible. Don't let him bully you or the girls. Ignore him if he tries to mate in front of you. It's challenging authority. Don't acknowledge wrongful behavior, it won't usually be done again

Wondering about my 3 buffs, the one the middle I just had to trade a previous rooster for but she was out of the same group of pullets so they should be the same age. Her comb is very small and hardly pink. My other 2 however... I'm leaning towards roosters

What do you think of this little four week old Barnevelder? I'm thinking cockerel, but would love a second opinion!

So basically establish myself as pack leader with him and make it clear I'm the alpha chicken?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me determine the sex and breed of this bird. I bought 8 supposed 15 month old hens off a lady on Craig's list. I'm thinking she may have picked up a rooster or two by mistake. For one thing out of the 8 chickens I'm only getting about an average of 4 eggs per day and the other is I've specifically seen this chicken mount the others. Maybe it's just a dominance thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time having chickens. I almost forgot to mention that all of them are missing feathers on their hind quarters. She said its from her breeding them and because she clipped their wings the roosters really did a number on their tail feathers.
