Hey y'all!! So this is Dolly. I'm hoping we don't need to change names! What do you think? Hen or Roo? The comb doesn't look excessive or the waddles (wattles?) My main concern are the sickle feathers.

That's a cockerel, a name change is indeed in order

I agree; Dolly is a cockerel. Maybe you can change his name to Donald. (

I'm no good at guessing, I've never seen an adult BO, but, it doesn't look like much of a comb or wattles to me. Donald was not a good date for me, please pick another name.

With this one it's not the comb or wattles that give it away, it's actually the long, pointed, shiny saddle and hackle feathers. Only roosters get those

Agreed, that is a cockerel for sure. He's lovely though!

We have the same question. This is Vivian 6 months old. No spurs but tiny flat nubs. No egss. Some weird yelling in the morning not a crow. Also very docile. Is this a Vinny?

Yours is also a cockerel.
