Whats Wrong With Him? (Update With Pictures)

[dsowens15]

I have a big barred rock rooster who I thought was a hen. Now I know he is a rooster because of his saddle feathers and wattles, his comb isn't that big for a rooster I think and I havn't ever seen him crow or mate a hen. Does he think that he is a hen? and is there any thing I can do to get off spring from him?

Why don't you post a pic of this guy for us? If he has stringy saddle feathers, he's a he, crowing or not. And no, he doesn't think he's a hen. He knows exactly what he is.

How old is he?

He is around year and a half. The reason I asked if he thinks he is a hen is because I had a RIR hen that grow spurs. I havn't been getting any fertile eggs from his hens. And I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. Thanks for the responses.

It has male coloring, but I don't see any hackle or saddle feathers.

Could it be one of those hens that thinks they're a rooster?

The coloring is male, the face is male (see how the skin is really red and sort of sags below the eye?) and often roosters can have rather small combs. Could be a boy.
