ANOTHER cockerel?

[TinyRaptorDodos]

I got this little chick because she(?) wasn’t looking too good, she was malnourished, lethargic and terrified of life. Fully froze in front of my other chicks and wouldn’t move then would hide behind the water and not move, she’s doing fine now BUT her comb is looking suspicious… I’m not sure on her age but she is an Icelandic, been calling her Natasha. Very friendly now but I’ve noticed she occasionally has the stance of a rooster and makes noises while she eats like a rooster would when feeding hens treats.

Oh and cockerel HATED her, absolutely hated her and pecked at her every chance he got but left my silkie alone, I put him outside and he’s nice to all my pullets as well (leaves my other cockerel and roo alone since they’re so so much bigger)

I think it is too early to tell. The comb isn't saying cockerel so far.

She’s much better! My silkie passed so now it’s just her and my naked neck cockerel. She’s very sassy and somehow bigger than my naked neck. We named her Natasha and we were very happy to see she was just a big combed pullet
