Howdy folks.
I ordered 26 "pullets" from Welp hatchery. I only kept 9 of the 26. They will be 7 weeks old tomorrow. These are the two I suspect will be crowing before long. The problem is I have covert chickens, and the last thing I need is two roosters giving away my secret!! What's worse is that these two are my favorites
So please... say it ain't so...
Edit! -- The two I'm questioning are always puffing their necks out and strutting around each other in a display of dominance.
This is Hera (because she's (?) mean, but fearless). Her comb is getting a little too red for comfort. I'm also spotting some greenish hues in her tail feathers. I *think* she's an EE.
here's another
The other one I'm fairly certain is a roo... Named Tom Boy. I think he's a red star. Hera picked on him/her mercilessly for a while. I even had to add a second small feed/water container. They do fine now, but still puff up to each other every now and then.
And just for fun... here are a few of my other ones I'm 99% certain are girls.
Please let me know what you think about my two favorites!!
