Olive Egger cockerel or pullet, 8 week old

[GirlsHuntToo]

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time. Trying to re-home roosters or even process one or two is difficult where I am. The one 20week old(mis counted haha) my dad was supposed to take a process with my cousin to show her how to do it but they never did, so yeah. And we don't have the necessary supplies to process.even though my son and I read the book in how to. I can butcher it no problem, I grew up on a farm where we butchered our own meat- beef and hog, but I can't do the death part. That's just not me.

Here soon I'll get more photos of him and the others. This morning he was chasing the chipmunk/easter egger around on camera.

I wouldnt think they he would be starting that at 20 weeks. It would probably be in another month or so. It could be just be fighting about the pecking order.

No, not the egger chasing, the extra roo is 20 weeks, the black eggers are 8 weeks. He has been witnessed multiple times chasing off our Easter egger that he was raised with and pecking her. She dodged between our year old Australorps and he leaves her alone

Eta the 20 week old extra is in a dog crate and has been he wasn't being very nice to the girls, although he is now cooing at them like he's learned his lesson but unfortunately bub ya ain't stayin lol

I would have to say he’s a cockerel, it I will still give it some time before culling him or rehoming.

He's definitely a cockerel, and if he's chasing pullets around, I wouldn't give him any more time. He's not going to switch genders if you keep him longer

My thoughts exactly if he's already chasing. Little booger. And he was an expensive roo too lol (labeled a pullet. I always get the packing peanuts. Always.)
