Hello chicken friends, my pretty barnevelder is about six months old and I've been waiting for her - ? to begin laying. I am brand new to chickens. My others are Easter Eggers and I'm familiar with what those males and females look like. I'm looking at this one now and thinking that SHE may be a HE. What do you think??
Thank you!



 
Lovely boy you have there :) You'll note the saddle feathers (most clear indicator in this case), a lovely sprouting tail and a large comb+wattles+ear lobes for his age. He should also have thicker legs than the females.

Oh man. I already have an accidental roo. This one was so mellow and quiet I thought maybe not, but he keeps getting bigger and more colorful. Hmmmm...
