Is this chick a rooster ?
Our take
Are you scratching your head wondering if your chick might be a rooster? You’re not alone! Many first-time chicken keepers, like our friend from Tractor Supply, find themselves in the same clucky predicament. With five new chicks fresh from the store, it's thrilling yet puzzling to watch them grow. While all the chicks are sprouting tail feathers and uniform wings, one stands out—raising a few eyebrows and questions. The telltale signs of a rooster include a rounder rear and jagged feathers, but can you really tell this young? As we dive into the clues that can help you distinguish your feathered friends, let’s explore together and uncover the mystery of this Sapphire Olive Egger's true identity!
 | I got 5 chicks at tractor supply about two week ago so I really am not sure how old they are this is my 1st time doing it! All of the chicks are getting tail feathers and their wings look really uniform except for one 🤨. I was told that they will have a more of a round butt and jagged looking feathers if they are roosters. Can anyone tell this young? Sold to me as a Sapphire Olive Egger [link] [comments] |
