As oh right now, 12 weeks old, they are both friendly. If they stay that way they can both stay. The bigger one is definitely the lead rooster. The smaller one is very sweet and not cocky at all. The larger one us sweet but very cocky.

Did you ever end up calling the hatchery ?

 

[Brea]

I did. They refunded the full price of each chick so essentially we got two roosters for free. I am very satisfied and appreciative of their customer service but still disappointed that we didn't get any Lavender hens.

Trying to play the guessing game with my Nora. Any guesses? Thanks
-She's 3-4 months and I find she acts like a hen. I have two other breeds that are the same age that ended up being roos. They walk tall and proud. She walks more low? If that makes sense. Really truly hoping for a pullet.

I would say pullet. At 14 weeks my two, which are for sure cockerels, have large developed combs as well as wattles and earlobes that are a bright red. They also have very noticeable hackle and saddle feathers.
