First time Mama here... I have 9 13 week old babies from a hatchery straight-run and I'm totally lost on who's who...

I know it's a waiting game for the most part (I have inklings about a couple chickies [Frankie & Biggie]) but any thoughts would be much appreciated! TIA!

It's official... I heard crowing this morning! I have to find out who it is and then decide to pen him separately or send him to a new home...

Also... there were two who were tussling pretty badly this morning (as I was about to leave for work) the aggressor was chomping down on the back of the other's neck and the victim was bleeding from its ear/neck, foot and comb. And it continued to find it and attack it, so I had to quickly separate them by putting the injured one in the closed coop and the other in the fenced in area - all with food/water. So I don't know if the aggressor is a male and was merely trying to assert dominance orrrr if it's trying to mate??

This is the feisty one >

Thoughts? TIA!

That's a cockerel.

That's a cockerel.

X2 if you'll post a pic of the injured one someone might be able to tell if it's a rooster or pullet.
