Pullet or cockerel

[mitch1114]

Can anybody tell if this chick is a hen or a roo? It's dad is a delaware. Not sure who the mom is-either delaware, cinnamon queen, golden comet. We had a BO go broody and decided to let her sit on the eggs. This is the first time we've hatched our own eggs.

Oh yeah, it's 4 weeks old.

Cockerel.

My guess would be cockerel…..

 

[cherrynberry]

Cockerel for sure

 

[LadiesAndJane]

No doubt

I was afraid of that. Two of my kids won some chickens from a breeder that they are going to take to the county fair. We found out a couple days ago that all 6 of them are roosters. Now we apparently have another one. What the heck am I supposed to do with all these roosters?! We only have 18 hens!

My friend has a “bachelor pad” for her roosters. It’s a separate coop and run away from the ladies, so they all just get along. They’re all very sweet and pleasant!

Make them a bachelor pad as suggested, rehome them or turn them into dinner, I guess it all depends on what your goal is with chickens.

He is a cutie for sure.

This one is the same age as the one above. I think it's one of the Easter eggers. Is this a roo too?
