Q: How can I tell if I ended up with a rooster. They were all labeled pullets, but I'm a bit nervous one of mine is a boy. I know there's a 10% chance of that unless their sex linked. Can't find any information online about them.
4 years ago1 Answer

4 years ago1 Answer

I picked up 8 of these 3 months ago (straight run) along with 2 RIR that were labeled pullets. Both of the RIR's & 1 of the Smokey Pearls turned out to be roos. I ended up with 3 different coloring/feather patterns. 2 are completely white, 3 are the lightest shade of gray, & 3 are like a splash (black & white). They all have different colored legs & their body sizes/shape are not uniformed either. Even though they were raised & treated the same, the all white ones get startled with a drop of a hat, the black & white ones are very reserved & standoffish, and the light gray ones want to be closest to me as possible & love attention. I know chickens have there own unique personalities but it's kinda weird how their attitudes line up with their coloration.
Yes, I recommend this product.
