A homeschool family found this chicken and needed to rehome it. I took it in and am completely baffled on gender or breed. It can fly. My son thinks is a hen, based on color and the sound it makes.
My husband thinks it’s a roo, because it has a spur.

I live in Riverview, FL - Tampa Bay.
Anyone?

I know - I agree. He has been sold to someone who wanted just one. They have hens and wanted a rooster. I hope he's happy. I now am selling two more. A little sad, but I have to do what's best for the hens. Too many roosters isn't good for them. I was just curious why people would want more...
They might come back. They like to wander. We co-own a peacock with someone. Sometimes he is in our yard, roosts in a tree above our chicken coop, we feed him. He is around for a few weeks then he goes wandering and we hear him across a fish farm for a few weeks ... then he comes back. Lol. We...
