Hens Crowing Like Roosters - Need help!! - Page 2

Yep that comb is pretty large and way too bright for a 9wk old girl to have.  And see the fancier feathers around the neck?  And I agree also with whoever pointed out the tail feathers.  I would bet my whole flock that you have a boy there.  Sorry!

if you still dont want to draw the line to weather its a rooster or not then watch it to see if its laying eggs that should definately tell you weather its a rooster or not hehehehe

That's a boy. Big three row comb at nine weeks and I can already see some shiny feathers sprinkled around. Plus the crowing = boy. Yes, there are hens that crow, but 9/10 times when someone on here says my XX-week old chicken is crowing, it turns out it's a boy.

There is absolutely NO question that you have a cockerel in that picture, sorry. At 9 weeks, no Easter Egger pullets have a huge red honking comb like that. So, you have a crowing boy on your hands.

100% boy and a handsome guy he is....

Congratulations! Its a boy! For all the reasons the other posters have said.

Yeah, that's definitely a cockerel, I'd agree.
We had what looked like a flock of ten young ladies, until we bought our big pretty boy Aku, and then one of our largest, more aggressive "Hens" (I felt that the bird was just taking the "rooster role," because it really looked like a hen to me-- no spurs, pretty nicely red face but not particularly goodsized wattles, no mounting, and no hackly feathers or droopy tail feathers, and no crowing at all, and this was after five mos.) suddenly "morphed" into a cockerel. It was like the prescence of Aku made him "Grow up fast." Within a week he was starting to make hoarse, drawn-out crowish noises in the morning, picking fights, etc. Anyone ever heard of this happening?

He made really good chicken'n dumplings though, I mean really good.
