My hen is crowing??

[mamalulu91]

I have a buff orpington and "she" is about 4 months and I am having the hardest time telling if it's a chickE (as my 2 little girls say) or a roo she also crows but it's not a full on cock-a-doodle doo! He/she also has a pretty big comb and wodlies (as the girls call them)

Welcome to BYC -- if you take and post a photo of your bird we can help you confirm the gender.

With that red of a comb at 4 months old, it's probably a cockerel. A better photo may help confirm.

If you look at the tail feathers she/he is a hen but once again idk she is also all of a sudden aggressive! She/he will bite the tare out of me

Need a crisp, clear photo taken in natural lighting, without a flash, showing the whole bird.
