They will go to a local auction when they get feisty. I got $5-10 each last year for six 3-month-old cockerels and another one sold a few weeks later for $30.They are beautiful and growing up so fast. Only time will tell. Do these get the sharp hackle and saddle feathers? What will you do with all these roos?
Mine will be 6 weeks old on Monday...and I agree, they are cute. They're like a little gang.I had the duty of closing in the chickens last night as DH was away for the evening. I had to herd the 2 mo old chicks into the pen. Oh gosh, they are just so cute. Like toddlers who don't want to go to bed. They did not go all the way in the coop while I was out there but just the outdoor portion of it. They were still running around and playing at dusk.![]()
Wish I had my camera with me. If I do it tonight I'll take a picture. I think this is my favorite age for chicks. They are so curious and full of life.

Purple band left, blue band front, LC right rear ("Little Chick"). One of my hens, Rahab, had similar black coloring on the neck when she was a juvenile.
Can you convince my DH that my 4 bantams only count as half a chicken each, please? He doesn't believe me when I tell him thatWelcome to this thread as we are a fun, and sometimes serious group who loves to share life and chicken raising adventures, support each other through hardships, and laugh together, sometimes at each other. Chicken math is a serious subject. One equation not included should be that all named chickens smaller than standard count as one mini. How old are the chicks? Pictures, please?
Blue band has not developed red wattles like the others, yet...I'm hoping she's a pullet.So pretty! Blue band looks almost like a hawk in that pose with those markings!

Ooh, looks like you may be lucky! Don't take my word for it though, I'm notoriously bad at sexing young birdsBlue band has not developed red wattles like the others, yet...I'm hoping she's a pullet.
