Is anybody a roo?
Big white is 23 weeks
Buff is 19 weeks
Small paint is 17 weeks

I think the big white one is a cockerel, the other two I'm not sure enough to guess.

@Debbie292d any thoughts?

So pretty!

I agree with @oldhenlikesdogs

I think your only girl is the little paint. Buffs take longer to sex than other ones for some reason, but I lean roo on that one too. Those two both have rooster feather tails, not soft and a ball like your paint.

I figured someone would start talking by this point but no one has yet. Or shown any aggressive behaviors towards me or each other.

I’ve only had a couple of cockerels actually practice crowing like we hear other breeds do. It’s like all of a sudden one crows, usually 4-5 months but I had a chocolate take 8 months.
