Hello Everyone
Hope you can help. We had 3 chicks that were given to us the day they hatched and two were clearly Roosters. They were crowing loud at 8 weeks. We founds them homes but our hen who is 15 weeks now started making crowing sounds this morning at 6:00am. It wasn’t as loud but definitely a crowing sound. She is the only chicken in the coop right now. Yesterday we introduced her to our 3 babies who are around 6-7 weeks and they seemed to get a long pretty good. Do you think her being alone has anything to do with it? I really don’t think she’s a rooster. Her siblings clearly had the large combs and wattles while she did not. Her tail feathers are clearly different compared to theirs too. Even now her comb and wattles are small. She’s an all black chicken so her combs is black but her wattles do have a pink hue. I wish I had a photo of her but I don’t right now. What are your thoughts?
