It's been a while, but I have a final update! I waited it out since I was unsure, but I definitely have a cockerel. Huge comb and earlobes, sickle feathers on his tail, hackle and saddle feathers, and spurs, plus tons more crowing, and not a single egg. Thanks to everyone who helped me try to...

Update! There was a mix up, and this bird is three months old, not six months.

I suppose if physical features aren't helpful here, I can wait to see if I get any eggs. Does anyone know about what age I should expect eggs?

What tells you that? Just so I know

Here is a picture of the feathers on the neck. I can try a clearer picture later if need be.

Yes, bald around the eyes, just darker skin that matches the black feathers.

Well it's definitely a crow. As days go by, it sounds more and more like a full crow instead of just an attempt. Compared to the boys she was with, her tail isn't sickle shaped, smaller waddle and ears, and an overall different body shape. What really throws me of is the crowing! I had another...

Take two on possibly better pictures

Thank you both :)

Hopefully these are clearer. My phone doesn't take the best pictures and my camera is dead. Plus someone doesn't want to sit still for pictures. And could that be a spur?

I can try to get a better one up in few minutes

Thanks for the reply. How can you tell? I saw her (him?) with the other roosters she lived with and she looked very different from them.

Hi everyone, I recently got a six month old Rosecomb pullet. She stays inside the house and has free range of the second floor. For the past few weeks she has been crowing every morning. It's not a full crow though, it just sounds like she's trying to do it. She does this about a dozen times...

Hey everyone! I have some feed left over from when my chicken passed away in April and was wondering how to tell if it is still good or not. I'll actually be getting some birds soon (likely today) and if I can feed them the leftover food, that would be great. I was feeding her game bird...
