Does the blue have a rose comb? And he seems to be developing pointy saddle feathers too.

Oh those poor hens backs!!!

Yes the hens were treated a bit rough, I was told. But are looking great now! I have an updated picture of one of them!

I was told this was a Jersey Giant and a hen. I am having some doubts!

I believe this to be a beautiful Auracan! (sp)

The young white JG looks like a cockerel. The supposedly Arucana I'd expect not to be Arucana if ordered from a hatchery. Though looks like a cockerel aswell.

Here is another picture of the roo. Does anyone know what it is? So now that I have three roosters what do I do with them? I thought I should only have one at a time.

 

[farmerChef]

It depends on how many hens you have. 6-10 hens for roo is a good ratio.
your Easter Egg Rooster is pretty

It's actually my neighbors rooster but to clarify does that mean if I have 6-10 hens per rooster the roos should be able t live in the same pen together? Just for the record I do plan on getting another coop!

 

[farmerChef]

If your roosters are raised together, they will live together better, once you separate them, it will be harder to put them back together(or not at all, from experience). I only have 1 rooster per coop(3-10 hens), but breeders will have a closer ratio for better fetility.
