New chicken mama

[janiedoe]

My 2 PBR are chest bumping and stamping around each other. so much for hens. I hadn't seen them do that yet. Can I have 2 PBR roos and be ok?

I'd seperate them (and any other males) from the females, before they start breeding. You can decide if you even want more than one, or either of them, once they mature. Good luck, I hope you don't get too many males!

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Pullet chicks chest bump and mock fight as much as cockerels.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Hello, and welcome to BYC!
Congratulations on your new chicks! Thank you for sharing some pictures of them - they're absolutely delightful! I agree that Guy looks like a little cockerel, although we'll need to wait for the other ones to get a little older to determine their genders. As Sourland mentioned, pullets will also chest bump and fight - it doesn't necessarily mean that they're cockerels! There's a good chance that you might have a couple of males, but I've found roosters can be quite delightful if you can keep them! Best of luck in raising your new flock, and once again, congratulations!
