Roos?

[Kukendame]

These two are constantly confronting each other and they have bigger combs than the others, I purchased pullets but...

Barred Rock 4 weeks

RIR 5 weeks

The Barred Rock is definitely a cockerel. I'm leaning the same way on the RIR as well.

 

[kezabel]

yep they both look like boys with combs that big at 4 weeks old

 

[Kukendame]

Oh no!

That barred Rock has a sibling that looks just like him.

 

[MissD'uccle]

I'd say both are boys also.

Some feed stores will take them back if they are roos - - -it won't hurt to ask.

 

[darkstarr nite]

umm yep they are both roos

 

[REINABUGY]

Both Are Boys

 

[LittleMamaBigPapa]

Nice lookin' dudes, but if they were mine...I'd be cryin' Unless I lived on a farm, then I'd keep them!

 

[Kukendame]

Well...I really only started this for the eggs, but now I'm thinking about raising some babies.

Question is can you have 2 roos with only 7 hens? If I can only have one, which one? The cute one, the nice one, the one that matches the majority of the hens?
And with only 7 hens shouldn't I get more? Maybe I should wait a few more weeks before I start shopping the hatcheries.
Nah... I'm shopping for more chicks!
