Starting out again

[Jackschooks]

Hi all. Thought I'd join this group and learn a few things. We've 2 Isa Browns and have just been gifted three, what they called, Spangled Hamburgs.
These two fight a lot and we are pretty sure we heard the black one try and crow? They're 8 weeks old. Any thoughts?

HELLO
Both look to be cockerels.

Thanks but what a shame. I was hoping I was wrong but the signs are pretty convincing at 8 weeks.

Hello, they are most likely roosters. I had this issue this past year. For the longest time I thought mine were hens. They took a while to crow because there was an older rooster. In time they did. Good way to tell besides the fighting (not a sure thing), is the combs and waddles are larger compared to known/pretty sure are hens, also that their tail feathers are not fully in.

Welcome to BYC! They do appear to likely be cockerels. Are you allowed to keep roosters?

No not permitted to have roosters.

Hello hello from Canada! Welcome to BYC! I'm a quail herder out of the bunch of us. Not allowed chickens here in our city.

Oh dear being stuck with two Roosters and you're not allowed them! Hopefully you'll have a solution fall in your lap

Hi...not allowed chickens!? I'm in Melbourne Australia, we have limits on numbers we can keep in our backyards but definitely no roosters. We can keep 6 chooks.

Thankfully we can take the little roosters back to the friends in who gifted them.
