I'm beginning to fear that my beloved little Jackie-O (so named for her perfect pillbox hat) may in fact be a Jackie Robinson. S/he was hatched the first week of April, so is nearly 3 months now. S/he is sweet and petite, the only one of my chickens who really tolerates being held or petted, and exhibits no roo-ish behaviors at all. I posted a pic of her on Instagram and someone on there thought she looked like a cockerel. I could barely sleep that night because of course, no roos in the city. So, BYCers - what's your take? First two pics are from 6 weeks ago, so she was almost 1.5 months. The others are all from this week.
I've been checking all week for comb/wattle growth, but what you see in the last pic is what you get - almost nothing. I'm now realizing the poor thing really needs a haircut. :/
