Hi everyone! This is my first post here and I'm super excited to read and learn from experienced eggers!
I bought 4 SR chicks from a local hatchery because I'm an avid support local type of person and I really wanted these breeds based on personality. We can't have roosters in my county (I do have somewhere they can go live, or I will rehome them) and I'm trying to learn on how I can identify roosters. After tons of reading and staring at pictures, I THINK I have an idea? But wanted to see what you guys thought. They all just turned 6 weeks old today.
Here is my Ameraucana (I know these guys can be notoriously difficult until much older, but just curious if you see any signs yet). Super sweet chicken, always likes snuggles and flying out of their pen to hang out with me:
This is an Olive Egger. Massive feet, runs away when I try to grab it, not a fan of my snuggles lol:
My Lavender Orpington who doesn't love or hate me:
And finally my Pita Pinta who is the SWEETEST chicken ever. The comb isn't quite as red as it's showing in the pictures because of my lighting, it is a little more on the yellow side with faint pink:
