» petnanny - Do I have roosters or hens?
I went to a sale last weekend and bought what I thought was 4 hens. After the auction the guy that had them came up to me and asked "what are you going to do with all those roosters?"He said they are spring chickens and all roosters. It fooled more than me! They have no spurs and look just like hens, but rather large.
They aren't crowing and I think they are hens.
This is all new to me, as I am a city girl just moved into the country. I have searched and searched to see if all roosters have spurs and what age do they get them?
I sure can use some help from someone. Please email me as I may loose this place again.
