    What gender is this barred rock?

    Hello people of BYC! I have this 15 week barred rock and I’m still not sure what gender Scamp is. At the beginning I was told Scamp was a female but I didn’t really know after the feathering on the chest started changing (can see in pictures). Scamp is an odd one, not really wanting to be...

    Hey people of BYC! So a little backstory on Scamp, I got her on Nov. 13 and she has always been odd.
