We got some straight run chicks in February and we were planning on giving away some of the roosters if we ended up with too many. Just wanting to see if what I think is a roo is what the general chicken public also thinks!

Breeds pictured:
white/blue/black chicks are Jersey Giant
Red chicks are Heritage Rhode Island
Partridge Brahma (photo #17)

Don't worry about guessing all of them. It's hard for me to be 100% sure, the wattles are large on some but then I look at my other chicks that were sexed and some of them have large wattles as well. I don't even notice a difference in feathers or tail feathers, so I need better eyes from more professional chicken owners! I'll know for sure when they start crowing!

A little disappointing! We wanted to keep a few roosters but not a dozen lol. We will be rehoming to some friends with their own flocks!
