The final verdict is : Rooster (maybe)

Update in a few weeks and let us know how the chick develops.

 

[Doctim]

Yep, Roo.

 

[Doodle_Doo]

I suspected as much. Sorry Itsy. I know you weren't expecting a boy in your laying flock.

Good luck.

 

[itsy]

Thanks, CMV.

What's the downside to having a roo anyhow? Hopefully... he'll be a nice dude. I'm going to handle him lots and hope he's nice to his girls. I wonder if it will be happy or stressful for him to have 14 wives.

 

[SIMPleChick]

Yup....Roo! Hope you can keep boys cause he will be a looker!

Possible human or hen aggression/stress , and the crowing- that's really about it- also unless you hatch chicks they are kinda freeloading... unless you have them for protection...

14/1 sounds great for all of them, you may get a hare less them 100% fert.

 

[PeakyBeaky]

Totally roo.

Did you know that Hens can act like a roo some will even crow if there is no roo with them. We had a hen that acted just like a roo tell we got Leon are roo. but good luck hope it a she for you.

Itsy - Welcome to a fellow quilter - from a fellow newbie! My roos took longer to feather out than the hens, tail feathers seemed two weeks behind the girls. Good luck!
