My chicks are about 8 weeks old, and I feel like I should know for the most part now. I have 12 currently and hoping I will end up with about 9 hens so I have space to get more next spring. One rooster has been identified for sure so I am down to 11. Here are four that I'm wondering about
Chick 1: Cochin Bantam, bought straight run
Chick #2: Asian Black, bought straight run. It was the first one to get really big so we thought rooster for sure, but there was hardly comb development.
Chick #3: Light Brown Leghorn is what we think it is, bought straight run.
Lastly chick #4. Buff orpington, bought as pullets, but with the occasional inaccuracy I thought it might be possibly a rooster because it's developed further than the other.
Thanks for the help!
