Thanks for all the replies - and the great pictures! Whatever Bobo is, we certainly enjoy his/her spunky personality.

I had to get rid of a very aggressive roo a couple of months ago (complaining neighbors). The whole atmosphere of the flock changed dramatically! I don't have another roo, but it did take awhile for one of the chickens to assume the dominant role. The first time out to free range my chickens...

What's confusing me is that it doesn't crow. I had a beautiful EE roo that had started to crow at 10 weeks - and was chasing and attacking my son.

I was given this chicken - from what I was told, he/she is 22 or 23 weeks old. There is no crowing, but every time I walk into their run to change their water or give them treats, this chicken chases behind me and pecks at my feet. It doesn't see too well, so I'm not sure if it's just startled...

Thank-you for all your warm welcomes!

I have the EXACT same Amish coop as you. I've been really happy with it (my chickens are happy too). It seems really well built and definitely predator-proof!

Thank-you! Lovely picture - what breed?

I have two 17 week old Australorps and one has a comb the same size as your 11 week old - and the other has a smaller comb!

Looks just like my EE - I live in New England and I picked that type specifically for their cold weather hardiness! Good Luck!

I had two EEs and one turned out to be a roo - but my pullet looks just like yours - what a beauty!

I had 2 EEs and one turned out to be a roo. The one that is a pullet looks just like your Rizzo!

Greetings from Massachusetts! This is my first time raising chickens and I am HOOKED! They are so much fun. I started out with two Buff Orpingtons, two Australorps, and two Americanas. One of my Americanas started crowing at 10 weeks - and getting really aggressive with one of my sons. When...
