Hi,
More questions from a newbie here. My 6 chicks are rapidly growing. My EE is larger than the the other 5 which includes 3 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Production Red and 1 Wyandotte. The Wyandotte and EE were straight run and we are beginning the wonder if the EE might be a rooster. Since I have never had chickens before and I have 2 little girls are there things I need to watch out for or do to make sure they don't get hurt if we do indeed have a rooster. I have no problem with having a rooster as long as it is not agressive. I am an accountant and after this Monday will be able to spend much more time with the chicks. So far the EE is the flightiest but one have shown any aggresive tendencies. They are about 5 weeks at this time. I will try to get some pics posted soon. I think we will probably be able to let them go outside for a short time soon so I can get some good ones
