The giant red comb is a dead give away, along with not being fully feathered. Can you keep roosters?

 

[Di Gibbs]

One of the others is way redder than this one. One's comb is way smaller. The little black guys it is hard to tell.
We can have roosters, but I don't want to put one with the girls, I would just let it run around the yard. I hope if Chiquita is a roo that he is a nice friendly one.

Thanks,
Di

I have the other babes on here. I had asked about the big comb before and someone said that was not a definite. So fun trying to guess eh?

Thanks, Di

If ones comb is redder then Chiquita then you have 2 roosters.

Whats wrong with running a rooster with some hens? If you only have 1 rooster with at least 3 (4-5 or more is better) hens he won't harm them and will just have to go through his teen hormone stage (mating with every hen 2 as much, crowing inscesentally).

Who, Butterball? She looks roosterish but its not definite, yes. But since Precious, has a red comb she is definitely a he.
