Hi all!
Either my chick is confused or I am! My 3 chicks are approximately 4 months old. Buttonwillow is the one is question. She had to go into solitary confinement awhile ago for brutally attacking one of the other chicks (Maybelline). She has been reintegrated back into society and all has been well - until today!
She is much larger than the other 2, has beautiful but really different coloring (my son pointed out she has orange feet while the others have gray - not sure if this means anything), she crows every morning and today she started trying to mount Maybelline (the yellow one with missing feathers on her head). Her size, behavior and coloring leads me to believe she's a cockerel BUT she doesn't have a comb.
Any thoughts?
