I Will Get Rid Of Them. I really only wanted hens. But when the silky turned out to be a rooster I decided to keep him. The two new ones were, I felt as though I was saving them , so I took them. I will get rid of the big Cockrell as you call it. I love my little chicks the Americana is the only one laying eggs so far and it has been so exciting for me to get them. I am almost 50 and feel like I have learned a lot through these chicks. Thank you thank you thank you so much for all your advice I really appreciate it. Also have you ever seen a rooster lay like it's laying an egg? I'm sending you a picture. That's silky seems to think he is the American is the one and only and he lays Where She lays eggs. LOLFrom those close up photos, my gut feeling is that the dark colouring on their combs is probably fine dust. There are a couple of photos where you can see the front part of their wattles are a normal red colour and I would guess the dirt has been washed off those bits when they have been drinking as they would trail in the water dish.
If you only have 2 hens, then you really will be best advised to get rid of that new cockerel.
