What do I have here?

[remuda]

Roo and pullet but what are they? Roo keeps attempting to breed the little one, is she too young? Should I separate them until she is older?

 

[DakotaDreamer]

I believe that it is a light Brahma rooster and a Delaware pullet.

 

[DakotaDreamer]

The rooster can hurt her from overbreeding. She looks young so I would separate her.

 

[remuda]

She is about 3.5 months old. When will she be old enough to let out with the roos?

 

[DakotaDreamer]

18 weeks old is the general guideline. Do you have more pullets/hens to put in with her?

Yes, I've got a silkie pullet the same age. I'll keep them together for a while longer.
