Everything I have read on here makes me think I have a third cockerel on my hands... Maybe I am just being paranoid, but with my luck lately- I'm not holding my breath. Sorry, not very good pics of him/her at the moment. This was actually taken about a week ago, I will try to update with a current less blurry pic today. When I got it, it barely had any wing feathers and was supposedly two weeks old at the time (unless they had gotten a new batch in and the guy was misinformed.)

Oh my. Every day that passes, ours is acting like a Roo. Still hoping it's not. My daughter will be very sad as we cannot keep a Roo where we live. They allow hens though.When we first got her/him, someone told us we can flip the bird on its back and watch what the feet do.Straight out...a roo, kicking and flailing...hen. We cracked up at first when we did this and the dern bird had one leg straight and one flailing.... Seems its as confused as we are. I tried to post a pic but It wont work. Keeps freezing the screen and I have to refresh page.Grr ..If we have to re-home poor Astrid, will the ducks be traumatized?( I probably will be... I love that dern confused bird.)
