It is 4 or 5 months old I know that probably sound bad Im not sure but we hatched alot of chicks this summer. The reason I thought hen was because we hatched another with the same parents and it was very evident at 6-8 weeks it was a roo.I quess i will have to wait and see if it crows of lays
Ok i cannot seem to find my dd 4h book so Im quessing on age I think maybe 10-12 weeks give or take. And the are ee who knows what mix lol
