Some of our silly birds...

I am scared to find out. I will post pictures of them all around 8 weeks. We cannot have roosters where we live. The white plymouth rocks were out of the pullet bin and the rest were straight runs.

I am sorry if some turn out to be roosters Just keep an eye out on their combs, and their feathers. The girls will have rounder feathers, whereas the boys' feathers will be longer and pointer.

Thank you We know for sure we have one rooster lorp, his comb and waddle are so red and developed already as compared to the other lorp we have. The guy who made our coop offered to take our roosters to live on his extra property where he keeps chickens. So at least they can go on to live a happy life.

You're welcome That is great that they will be going to a happy home We'll be rehoming a couple of roosters pretty soon, too.

Thank you We love her a lot! She is protective of them! When we would have them all out on a shower curtain in the basement to let them stretch their legs a little and play with them, the dog would make sure they all stayed on the mat. If one peeps loudly, she gets very concerned. She loves to see them and once in a while gives them kisses. I am excited to see how their relationship is once the chickens are full grown! It could get interesting.

Oh no My friend got a new-to-her labradoodle and found him with a chicken in his mouth. She yelled at him to let it go and he did obey right away, but yikes!

I think your Wyandotte is a cockerel.
I have 3 Black Laced Silver Wyandottes and their combs didn’t get pink/red until a few weeks before they began to lay.
Never at the age of yours.

I am afraid of that. At what point to roosters begin to crow, or when can you know that you know that a chicken is a boy?
