- Roo or Hen?Hi! We’re first time chicken owners and had gotten three chicks from a straight run batch. We think two may be roosters and the other a hen. They’re hitting their 6 week mark and we’re worried about how the hen will if she’s by herself in the coop. We can’t keep roosters where I’m at but they’ll be relocated to a friend’s farm that is in need of roosters. Are the roosters? 😭 submitted by /u/fayesky [link] [comments]
- Got two chickens… turns out they’re both roosters - advice 🙏🏻**UPDATE IN COMMENT SECTION** Hey everyone, I need a bit of help and figured this was the right place to ask. I was gifted what I was told were a rooster and a hen, but it turns out… they’re actually both roosters 😅 I’m still pretty new to all of this, so I didn’t notice right away, but now it’s pretty obvious. I’m attaching photos here could anyone help me figure out what breeds they might be? I’d really appreciate it. Also, I’m a bit concerned about whether they can stay together in the same coop. So far they haven’t done anything too aggressive, but I’ve read mixed things online about keeping two roosters together. On top of that, we’re expecting 10 hens to arrive soon, so I’m wondering if that will help balance things out or potentially make it worse between them. Any advice or insight would really help me out. Thanks a lot 🙏 submitted by /u/HungryCelebration434 [link] [comments]
- Trying to work out if my aracunas are Roosters or HensExcuse the bad coop photos. I got these two from a day old, and I'm unsure if they are roosters. I'm 99% sure they both are, but I'm hoping someone who knows their chickens would be able to help me. Based in NZ, as I know, the breed can differ in looks in different countries. submitted by /u/ThrowawayAd5053 [link] [comments]
- Roo or hen?So this dark Brahma has different tail feathers than the rest. They are currently around 7 weeks old. It may be too early to tell if it’s a roo or not but all the others are hens most definitely. They all came from a pullet run. submitted by /u/HopefulArticle6284 [link] [comments]
