Will roosters do the squat thing too? Done it a few times so like I said this ones confusing me lol

Ok I know I posted before and I was sure my chicken was a hen...now I really am baffled. My Dusty looks like it could be a rooster but also a hen. I know it's not common but I've never seen this before. Usually by 4-5 months I can tell who is going to be what but Dusty acts and behaves like a...

I'm starting to think Dusty is a hen. I'm not seeing any rooster feathers. Shes huge though. Shes 4 months and already the size of my black orpingtons. Any ideas on the breed? Dusty is on the left of the other year old hens. Sorry they look a bit ragged from molting.

Ok so I did my best to get better pictures. Dusty is with my 1 year old hens. Dusty is 4 months old and already same size. The others I had were not this big. I still cant tell if it's a girl or boy. Any ideas? Dusty is top right in the last photo.

Heres some new pics

I can see if I can get a better picture but Dusty is kind of flighty.

I got fertilized eggs from a friend of mine. The father I know was an English Orpington but could have been any number of different mother. I dont know if she has any Jersey Giant Hens but it's possible. Dusty was different from all the other chicks except one that I knew was a rooster. He...

Ok so I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out if our chicken Dusty is a hen or a rooster. He/she was hatched on May 20th so is 4 months old but I cant figure it out. Doesnt act like a rooster, is very shy and doesnt like to be touched except when I make my voice low and calm and...

It's very sad it's a boy. He's a mama's boy then. Was cleaning stuff and wasn't petting him so he jumped on my lap. Snapped a picture.

Thank you. I'm new to chickens but absolutely love them. They love to sit on my lap and have me pet them. The older girls were trying to sit on me earlier all at once but they're too big for my lap for all three. Got one laying now and one soon cause she's squatting now when I go by her...

Oth man that's too bad. He's so sweet and even purrs when I hold/pet him. I want to keep him but if he's male I can't.

Hi there. I'm hoping to find out if my chicken is male or female. Acts like a hen and is about 4 or 5 months old. Father is English Orpington, mother could be Cuckoo Maran I think. All the sisters are hens but are all black. Hoping for an idea cause I can't have roos where I'm at.
