Hi everyone,
We are first time chicken owners. We purchased our flock of four chicks from a feed store & everything seems to be going well. However, we have been noticing our "Americauna" (what the feed store called her, but I think she is an EE) having some rooster-like behaviors. Posturing, bossy, aggressive towards out of the flock birds (crows, song birds, wood pecker), protective, first to investigate new things. We heard that this can happen when a rooster is absent, a hen takes on the protector role. However, it's got us a little worried. We started noticing some physical features, slightly pointy hackles, dark pink/red comb, swoopy tail feathers. Any advice or insight is appreciated.

Here are some pictures of Goldie...











 
I just went through the same thing.....mine ended up a cockerel as I am guessing so is yours. I am a first time chicken owner too and I am just guessing. But yours is showing a lot of the same features mine did.
