I have nine chickens and can't tell yet who is a roo and who is a hen. I think I have three or four roosters. Bad ratio. I love these birds and don't want to think of the 'cull' word. Is it possible to neuter roosters? Do vets do that? Would it help me keep them and maintain peace in the coop? Please stop laughing, all you veterans out there.....I've only been at this for 6 weeks.
I just can't think of parting with any of these fluffy little characters - they're all awesome. I have two barred rocks, two silikes, two millie fleur d'uccles, and three bantams of unknown origin (ha-ha). Six are 8 weeks old and three are 5 weeks old.
ps: is a cockerel a neutered rooster? (ha, two of the stupidest questions....)
