Thank you I agree. None of them have the plumage of a cockerel. I just hope the neighbors are ok with a dominate crowing girl.

Both are pullets. The EE is a classic female color, and the SLW is (obviously, as others have posted pictures) as pullet as well. So either one is just being the dominant girl of the flock and trying to crow, or you might be hearing the egg song. Here's an experienced hen singing that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx_Hdpg1M8g Pullets won't sound so professional. wink

No crowing at all this morning..... starting to look like just a dominate demanding girl. She only seems to do it when they are still locked in the coop in the morning.
