Hopefully not. Hang in there, our instincts are usually right. Although, my late rooster was named Doris, and my easter egger, Gus is a hen. And of course there is Hope, my bantam rooster. Maybe my instincts aren't quite so good. 🤣
Welcome to BYC. I'm sure Karen recognizes her name, and not just your tone of voice. Mine know their own names as well as those of the others in the flock. When I call someone's name, they all turn and look at that one.
By the way, if Karen turns out to be a cockerel will you change her name?
