So, my family recently picked up three chicks as the beginning of a backyard flock. We were told that two of them were definitely girls (95%) and one was most likely a girl, though they weren’t sure. We thought, okay, we can handle a rooster. ONE rooster.
And now it turns out that one of the definitely-girls might be a boy (very prominent tail feathers) and isn’t even the breed we were told he was (oops - that’s what we get for buying during a pandemic, when most of the staff at the hatchery were staying home, and we got a newbie). The other is showing similar signs. If this happens with the third, we’ll be totally screwed. We can’t get more hens to balance things out, since we don’t have the space. What should we do with our abundance of roosters?
(We are not going to kill them. That is advice we’ve received, and no. My 16yo sister has raised these babies since the day they were hatched, we’re not killing them.)
