I have heard of the hens growing spurs too. My barred rock caboose has little bumps where the spurs will grow in. I just read that a red sex link pullet at 5 months should be red, but mine is yellow white and it concerns me that she might be a roo or a different breed all toghether!!
okay so my chicken hasnt started crowing yet and has not tryed to mount any of my hens. The chicken in question is 5 1/2 months old and there seems to be small pointy nubs coming in on here legs, i believe they are spurs. THe tail feathers are only black at the very tip not full or even half...
