What Gender Is My Ee?????

[morninggloryhatchery]

This is my first EE Stitch. I need to know what he is so i could put a little zip tie on his leg to tell the difference between my 7 others. I have been suspecting cockrel but not positive. She/He is 5 weeks and 6 days. I tried to take pictures on a roosting pole and a zillion other spots but he wouldnt coperate with me! He finally settled for the flower box. All help welcome!

I can't say for sure but being that age with a comb that red I say roo.

Thanks for the help. Compared to some of the others which i think are Pullets he does seem pretty red on his comb.

Anyone else?

 

[catwalk]

agree, roo

Yep, that's a boy.

Ok i guess im happy with that causei have 7 and i think it would be nice to have 2 males and 5 females cause i have a very small hatchery and i only do 3-4 breeds but i change it each once in a while. I will post more pics of the others on another post soon!Thanks

Um... Thats a rough ratio on the hens. Usually its 10-12 hens per roo.

I'd do a little more research before doing too much hatchery business. JMHO

they don't live with them full time. I will put the hens in with the 2 roos for 1-2 days. Then i will take the hens out and put them back with the other hens for 1 to 1 1/2 weeks.
