Hi, I'm new to this so I'm not sure I did this right.

I have a hen (I think) named Chicka, and she kinda looks like a rooster to me. My chicken is a Barred Rock Plymouth about 5 months old right now and she just started squatting the other day. My other hen (Barred Rock Plymouth) is the same age but she looks like a definite hen, she has not squatted yet. I am very confused because I have done some research and Chicka acts like a rooster from what I have read. Please help! We will have to get rid of her if she isn't a hen.

Looks like you did everything right to me

I do believe that's a hen. To be positive, can we get a full body shot? And how sure are you on age?

glad you have joined us.

I agree, that's a lot of comb and wattle for a 5 month old BR - a full body pic will tell all - but are you sure of the age, I didn't know roosters would do the squat

Looks like a pullet close to laying to me. Here is a pic of a couple of my girls around 5 months, same comb and waddle look and size. None are roos and all are laying.
