Questionable Rooster

[sadierae]

Hi,
I am very new to raising chickens and I can not figure out what type of rooster I have. He was bought at tractor supply. Does anyone know what breed he is?

Barred Rock and Gold Spangled Hamburg. Both are cockerels.

Oh no thank you so much for identifying the breed. I thought that I only had one rooster.

I guess I will have to get more hens. I currently have 2 hens and 2 roosters.

You will need a lot more hens if you plan on keeping both cockerels.

Well I guess I’m getting a lot more hens. We don’t exactly have a chicken exchange where I live and my daughter is pretty attached . I may need another coop.

Maybe they will get along for the time being

The Plymouth Rock is definitely dominant. The other is aggressive and high strung but all of the chickens follow the Plymouth Rock one (he was named Chicky Minaj but that will clearly have to be changed considering she is a he ).
