Sexing my 5 week old barred rocks

[AndreaGray]

Bought 2 straight-run barred rocks. I am fearful that I have 2 roosters. What do you think?

It sure is looking that way.

I’ve seen so many posts about the green wash over the legs and feet but then the comb and just so much It would be my luck to have chosen two Roos. But we are already so attached.

We are first time chicken folks...I just hope two roosters in our flock will be okay. I may have a silkie roo too making it possibly three

Theyll be ok if you have enough hens or no hens at all

Thank you! She is the best dog ever! She has been great with adding chickens too. I haven’t turned my back or leg my guard down yet though. Makes me nervous but she has been fantastic so far.
