Meet Cinnamon... a red frizzle cochin bantam. She/He is about 13 weeks old as of today. The picture was taken two weeks ago. Her comb was mainly straight and yellow until about a week before this picture. When the comb got bigger and more orange, I decided that she must be a boy. Last week though, I sold my main rooster Henry whose comb and waddles were twice the size and very red. Since then, Cinnamon has been pulling hair and pecking the others. Even though Cinnamon didn't crow, I still believed Cinnamon to be a rooster and that he was asserting dominance and taking over the flock. Then, he started laying down with his butt in the air all the time. A 4h friend said that this might mean Cinnamon is a girl. She was misbehaving last night so I put her and her little sister in a pen together by themselves. This morning, I went into the garage to find her humping her sister. I thought, "well that solves that mystery". Now I'm being told that Cinnamon could still be a girl but just asserting her dominance with the main rooster gone. Neither are laying eggs. The other one's comb is a little smaller but I question both their genders.
Any guesses or advice?
Don't be fooled by that cute fluffy sassy butt.. he/she is a little toot.
