In my area I can't have a rooster. Most chickens can be sexed with about 90% accuracy but not Bantams. I myself love Bantams, they are miniature chickens. They are what you call a straight run. We have had three roosters. My feed store has taken them back but understand that doesn't mean they don't get put in the broiler. We even re-homed on craigslist. I had a chick that started a beginners crow at 6 weeks. I had Opal for almost 5 months when she started getting long tail feathers. I googled images of roosters if I wasn't sure. I even took her back to the feed store for them to look at her. Sometimes it's hard to tell for sure especially if your a beginner like me.
