Think you might have a rooster?
Here is a quick guide on how to tell if you have a hen or rooster. You can tell as early as a day old, but there are some telltale signs as young roosters become 2-3 weeks old.

Chicken Keeping - Where to start!
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.4 года назад
Backyard Chicken Keeping has become more popular than ever! I for one fully support it, but I do believe it's very important to know what you're getting into. I often compare chickens to dogs, because they are a big commitment. I hope this video helps prepare you as a new chicken parent! Thank you for checking out my homestead adventures!

    My family ordered four pullets, and received seven "just in case", of various breeds. They're about a month and a half old now. There is one that is larger, more dominant, and is starting to crow. We have read that in the absence of a rooster, a hen can take that position and in rare cases even crow. They're all so young still though, only time will tell.

    I have 2 roosters with 10 hens. I don't know if I would say that they "get along", as they chase each other around the yard a lot and they're clearly competitive. There's been no actual fighting, and when they're roosting in the coop, there's no conflict at all. I have even found them snuggling up together.

    Hi Tara Thanks for all the great information. Around the 6.25 mark you show your hen with a big comb and waddle. Do you remember how she looked at the age of 6 to 8 weeks? Did she start growing the waddle and comb early in life or later? I have 2 7 week old Buff Orpington’s with combs almost as big as the bird that I know is a rooster. Thanks again for the great channel. Brian

    Roscoe is sure nuff a perty little puppy! :) Some are a little tough to pick out. I've got a couple Marans that I checked when they hatched and knew they were boys. But at a week old it was obvious when they started growing fred flinstone feet. lol Got a week old Lavender Ameraucana that I haven't made much effort to check but appears to be a girl just at a glance. Don't matter either way. It's so sticking cute!! hahaha I'll be getting more to go with it next spring.

    Knowing nothing about chickens and stating to homestead, I recently bought 13 chickens and 3 ducks. I was told there were 1, possibly 2 rosters in the bunch. Turns out, looks as if I have at least 4 and likely 5 roosters!! Only one roster is vocal and runs things but he's now being physically challenged by a MUCH larger male of a different breed. I don't want any to become chicken soup, can you tell me how to find new homes for my excess males? I'm pretty sure the people that sold me these chickens knew. The youngsters were born in July and I got them 2 weeks ago. Also, in the meanwhile, how do I keep everyone safe? I love all my babies lol

    Thanks for the info. Will definitely check out the coops, we've been looking for a smaller mobile option. We have had a lot of success with fermenting feed to improve gut health and immunity and the chickens love it too. I'll look further into your videos but could you please do a video on chicken handling if you haven't already? Your chickens are very comfortable with you picking them up. Thx!

    Hi Tara, Thank you so much for this video. I've watched many trying to figure out what I have, but your video looks super helpful. Now I can't wait to look them over. I ordered 5 female chicks and I'm concerned I have all roosters. 😬 They are 7 weeks (buff orpingtons) and I notice sometimes a few of them challenge each other for pecking order. Does this automatically mean they are roosters? So far no dark red combs or waddles, but combs are light pink with one a smidge darker than pink.

    • @glutenfreejm3
      @glutenfreejm3 Год назад

      From what I've researched as a new chicken raiser, the challenging each other is the norm for chicks to figure out their pecking order.

      With my own chickens, the look of their tail feathers seems to be the best detector. If the tail feathers start to point waaaaayy out, and then with time begin to get the side saddled feathers too, annddd with a more aggressive demeanor. That’s what I see in 2 of mine. I have Rhode Island’s, and Americanos, and Easter Eggers.

    At some point we're going to have our first culling if my husband doesn't allow the cockerel to live (I'm working on keeping him alive as long as he's not a jerk). Wow, you have a lot of chickens! I'd love to see how you integrate the chicks as they get older. I have 8 week old and 4 week olds and they're still separated, not sure how to integrate since I've never done it before. ❤️💛💜
