Thanks, I'm glad to be here! The seahawks have been doing great, not a loss!

Hum... I’ll have to look that up. All of ours are brown (minus the unknown rooster...) and our Americana.

I know that he will need to be re-homed.. our city just doesn’t allow Roosters and as much as I’d love to be that neighbor (who lives next to non stop barking dogs) I don’t want to start stuff

and I still have the heat lamp on in the coop to help with some warmth at night.

Kill the heat lamp. It's a fire hazard and completely unnecessary in our temperatures for any healthy bird over 4, 5 weeks of age. Hell, I'm still wearing shorts... no reason a fully feathered bird needs supplemental heat.

And yes it's a cockerel, the crowing is the obvious give away, as is a massive red comb at this age.

Okay... like I said, I’m following this book because I didn’t know websites with real people about chickens existed until I was googling.
Good to know. I thought they’d freeze or something.. who knows.

I guess the next question is - can we get another baby, raise it separate until bigger and then introduce into the flock?
