“New egg, is mystery bird a hen?”

Oh ok then. Maybe he is a male, after all. I would have lost that bet!

On top of the crowing, he is significantly larger than the other Orpington with legs twice as thick. I won’t shove aside the idea that he’s a hen though. I hear in some all female flocks a hen will take on the rooster’s role and even exhibit minor male traits. It’s always possible.

Is this one crowing? Looks like a female to my untrained eye

I am wondering that also. Looks like a hen...
