We adopted an Australorp a couple months ago and named her Kylo Hen. Two weeks ago her comb & waddle grew deep red, and I got excited that an egg was soon to come. She goes and sits on the other ladies' eggs but I can't tell if any are her own. This week her comb & waddle almost doubled in size. Look at the size of that thing! She's also started mounting the smaller hens, but I know some hens do that for dominance. No signs of crowing, and her feathers seem rounded, but a lot of her butt feathers were missing when we got her so I just can't tell. Is she a growing Hen with a huge comb, or a young rooster not showing his saddle feathers yet???
