Roo? 😩

[Woah_Donkey]

Kept thinking: wow she’s such a pretty barn mix! Now I’m thinking… no, he’s a flashy roo

(Not allowed to have roosters in my city! I’d be sad to say goodbye if he’s a .. “he”?)

I think it’s a roo

The bird in question is a cockeral. How old are your birds? Are they all the same age?

He's a he....

Could you get a better pic of the black/white bird in last pic by the corner post please?

Aw, heartbreaker — the cockerel is 11 weeks old (ish). There are 2 other pullets the same age and some older ladies (2-6 yrs).

Oh dear, don’t tell me she’s a “he”, too! Her name is hawk. She’s 16 weeks old and I’m *pretty* confident she’s a pullet at this point. If I can get a shot of her tomorrow, I will.

Not necessarily now that you've stated the age.... Very important with gender. At 16 weeks 'She' could be getting close to point of lay and the comb is reddening up.

At 6-9 or 12 weeks for example that red comb would most likely point to a 'He'.
