:wee Go Sprinkles!! LOL He's a late bloomer for sure. I think he looks like a rooster now:)

Great name! Well...it's not really a "sex change" meaning they don't turn into a male, the female embryo has 2 ovaries, but only the left one develops. The right one shrinks during development and is none functioning. It's possible if the left is damage that the right one could develop and...

Yes, some pullets/hens will squat for you when they are in lay. Not all will though or not all mine did LOL Well, what did you name him/her?

Well, keep us posted. I doubt anything will change since they are about 1yr old, but it's interesting. I think OldHen may be right, it's just a manly hen. I think we had decided the comb was a bit different too?

S/He is different. It's still a mystery to me! :idunno

Oh goodness! Now I really don't know LOL @oldhenlikesdogs any ideas? I still see "roosterly" features, but could be wrong. But he has a bit of hennish looks too. (don't ya'll love my made up words;))

Not to me either. Time will tell what that mystery girl/boy is I suppose. A lesson in patience:hmm

You didn't pull a switcheroooo on us now did you @5crazies ??:p Here's your first photo from 10/18, then the photo of the same bird today. Big difference. The one from Oct looks like a cockerel, now in Feb., it's harder to tell! I agree, he should have more saddle feathers, the tail is off and...

Are your girls laying eggs? When you break them open you could always look to see if they are fertilized, this will tell you if he's "active". I don't believe he's a hen. You first photos of this thread, says cockerel. The last photos still look like a rooster to me. I agree, he is not as...

Some don't crow much. Is he mating the girls?

Sprinkles is a great name! I would leave it:) It will be interesting to watch! Chicken TV, you know.

LOL Once the pullets come into lay they will find their way into the pecking order and things will settle down with them. Yes, he will be terrified of the older hens for a while, but as he matures, he will come into his own. He will eventually dominate and rule the girls, but it takes time.

If you have older hens with him and the pullets, he will do much better, imho. The older gals will usually keep him in line longer than if he were with just pullets his age. Could be another reason he is not crowing a lot right now too.

LOL Men like the Roosters, but I do too:) You will need to watch him around the kids. A cockerel in the mix with pullets only can be tricky. Walk through him when you are doing chores, don't walk around him. Be consistent with your actions. Chasing/handling pullets can sometimes get them...

It can be. They can grow at a different rate. I would just give him some time. He's a nice looking fella:)

Mine hasn't even finished feathering in:hmm By the time Spring arrives, he will probably be a real pain:lol:

He's trying to stay under the radar:lau Some don't crow that often:confused:Give him time to mature. I have a cockerel close to that age and he doesn't crow that much. I had another one that crowed at around 4months and never let up. Each one is different.

Yes, you have a cockerel :)
