Unfortunately, I couldn't get a photo of either of the girls "crowing". But I did capture a few good images of them just hanging out. Hopefully you can tell from these pics if they are pullets or roos. This is "Bertie" and she likes to silent crow: (white leghorn crossed with New Hampshire, I think) And this is "Jessica" who also "crows" when I am looking: The two of them have started "facing off" with little chest bumps. Jessica always wins.
Quote:I haven't had that yet, but I am having Roosters challenge each other as if they're going to fight already, amazing at this age.
A few of my 3 week olds do this too, I assumed it was little yawns or stretching or something since at least one of my sex links does it (and we're pretty sure she's a girl )
great news! I am hoping these ladies stay ladies. Its good to hear of other pullets who do this same "crowing" thing. Thanks for the response. I have hope!
I've had chicks in their very first week of life crow. Trust me, sound comes out and it's really cute. It probably had shaving in its throat or a piece of food.
Quote:Jessica looks like a rooster. The jury is still out on Bertie, but if I had to guess, I'd say pullet.
Quote:Jessica looks like a rooster. The jury is still out on Bertie, but if I had to guess, I'd say pullet. Uh oh. Ok. Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep a close eye on her/him. PS - They do look very cute when they're "crowing" though.
