Hi all! I wanted to post an update. Ruth has grown in tail feathers that seem pretty hen-like and while she hasn’t laid an egg (that I’ve found), she started squatting for me yesterday and hasn’t crowed so I’m feeling pretty confident your pullet votes were on point! Thanks so much. I love her...
It's on stray hold for two more days - after that it's open for adoption, and will get transferred to another more rural shelter or rescue. (It's a "no kill" shelter.)
Hi! I mentioned the voice only to help folks understand the age parameter since the chicken was found a stray - I have no clue how old it is, but it's less of a high-pitched peep that a baby chick makes. It also could be a bantam, but, again, no clue!
I am thinking of adopting this young chicken that was found as a stray and is at the shelter. It is young but it’s voice is starting to change and get a little deeper. I already have hens, and I cannot have a Roo. I have two days to decide! Help! Hen or Roo?
