Thanks everyone. Here's the Araucana, absolutely no idea what it is, hopefully not 4 from 4 cockerels!! This chick is very wary, timid & runs under mumma hen when scared.
Please be a hen.

Is it at all possible for several Roos to live together harmoniously? Or am I asking too much. I would guess not but the Welsummer & leghorn are inseparable & have been raised independently from the flock(they were rejected chicks by a broody who only wanted 2 babies). They're all slowly integrating now but still stick like glue to one another.

Very early, yes, but I am leaning towards pullet on her... stance, look and actions are weighing more towards pullet...

Some cockerels can, especially if they are separated from hens when their hormones kick in... or there are plenty of hens that they don't fight over them... just keep an eye out for aggression signs... it tends to work best when they do grow up together, so odds are better for you... I have several that live in pairs together, and a few that have to be separated... it can happen, just gotta wait and see...

Hope you're right with the Araucana, my guess(wishful thinking) has been a hen, she has very different characteristics & behaviours to the others, very shy, so fingers crossed!

We'll see how things go with the Roos! Thanks for the advice

I had a welsummer rooster named Mary and he was the sweetest rooster in the world, but he passed away june 8th of this year and I was devastated when he did, but i have to move on in life; so to ansewer your question yes I do believe that is a rooster.
