Newbie needs help identifying rescued cockerels!!
« on: September 07, 2011, 18:44 »
Hi! We're turning into a bit of a sanctuary for unwanted and old chooks, ducks, and now, cockerels! So far we have a total of 17 lohmans, 1 Gold laced orpington, and now 7 unwanted cockerels which we are trying to rehome. They're about 8 weeks old I think, from the pics any idea what they are? Thanks in advance for any help :)

Well done you, I would say the two on the left in the first photo might be Cuckoo Maran's they look very like mine.

well done for taking on such a huge responsibility.

i'd agree and say the two barred ones might be cuckoo marans and at a guess i'm thinking that the two light brown/white ones might be ISA brown/white sussex crosses but it is hard to say without seeing a frontal view.

best of luck with finding them a good home.

out of interest - how do you tell they are all cockerels at such a young age?
