Hello all,
So I just bough a house out in the country and ended up with a stray hen or maybe rooster?? I need help figuring out what gender and breed it is. I originally thought hen...but I haven't seen any eggs yet (was thinking may be due to it being winter where I live?) and this morning it sounded like she/he was faintly crowing. I say faintly because one of our neighbor's has a rooster and he crows really loud....our hen/rooster let out a similar noise shortly after the neighbors crowed but it wasn't as loud. Below are some pictures...I do not know age or anything really about him/her since it just showed up (and isn't the neighbors...I asked...or maybe they lied if it is a rooster and they didn't want it lol). Also, I believe he/she is currently molting....he/she is shedding a lot of feathers and has been less active....Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!! P. S. either way I am keeping him/her.
