Everyone's favorite game... Pullet or Roo

[mlmanjoney]

So first time chicken mom here. Got 5 chicks at TSC from the pullet bin (my 6th was a bantam because it was so cute). 2 Black sex links, 1 Leghorn, 1 buff orpington, and a Barred Rock.

The Buff ended up being a Roo and I am concerned about my barred rock.

12 weeks old, no crowing yet, smaller than my other ladies... but the tail has me concerned

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna play!

The answer: " @mlmanjoney 's Barred Rock."

The question: "What chicken looks to be a cockerel?"

 

[mlmanjoney]

Yeah that's what I was afraid of! 4 roosters this year
