Any chance this could be a pulley? Has a comb put not much of a waddle
It's possible, if both birds are the exact same breed...Ok thanks, was wondering because the other one has a big waddle. Guess I’m wishful thinking, kids will be crushed to get rid of the cockerels.
Thanks for the help! Agreed great learning lessonIt's possible, if both birds are the exact same breed...
...but even same breed - same source can have differences.
Time will tell....but start planning their future and prepare a separate area for when the boys get 'randy' at about 12-16 weeks old.
Tough lessons, especially for kids, but a great opportunity for learning some realities.
When they crow...or around 4 months when saddle and hackle feathers will tell the tale.So when can you really be certain? The lack of waddle has me puzzled
I'd say at this age it's a pretty safe bet that it's a cockerel. Also Easter eggers tend to have less pronounced wattles (but they also tend to have pea combs so I'm not sure what's going on with this little guy)So when can you really be certain? The lack of waddle has me puzzled however I am new to raising chickens..
