Definitely won't be able to keep him. I am in a neighborhood that would not appreciate crowing. I have, what I think are 2 RIR hens (at least they appear to be hens), about 4-5 months . I want 1 or 2 more hens, for a total of 3-4 birds. So this guy will be going back to the farm he came from...

Thanks, that seems to be the consensus ... Oye, I thought getting a couple young hens would be so easy.

Thank you for the guidance. I will let time tell ... what's the worst that can happen ... I need to find a home in a few weeks, rather than now. Or, as you say, just maybe it will turn out to be a hen!

The woman from whom I got the bird, was a bit vague about its age ... she guessed 8 weeks. What would be a reasonable amount of time to wait in determining weather it is a rooster or not? I want to find the bird a home, should it turn out to be a rooster. It's really difficult for me to...

The breed is uncertain ... I was told it there was an Americauna (spelling?) rooster and some Rhode Island Red and Americauna hens .. so I am completely lost.

I was told it was around 8 weeks old. Check the vent?? I'm out of my league with that!

Oh my, hopefully I have gotten rid of the "Ghost chickens" with this ....

As I said ... I'm a newbie to this site ... let's try this again ...

Let's try this again .... hope these upload this time ...

I was told this chicken is around 8 weeks old. Can gender be identified? Also breed? It is possible to be a barnyard mutt ...

So here is the best I could get for a full profile ... they are fast little buggers! I'm so hoping it's a hen, but from what I am reading, I am completely confused.

Your thoughts on this one? I was told it is an Americauna around 8 weeks old? I'm most wanting to know if it is a rooster or hen..

So I have this chicken which I was told is maybe 8 weeks old?? Any ideas if it is a rooster or a hen? How old do they have to be before you can tell?
