Hello,
I have this one chicken I cannot tell what sex it is. I thought hen. She was a tiny chick. Still is a small bird. Small legs. Shy (less so now) No comb development what so ever until about 20 weeks. At 20 weeks comb started and it developed a longer tail feather with a slight curve. Then I thought rooster. But I'm having a hard time telling. I cant see hackle or saddle feathers. Hen or rooster it is the slowest bird to develop that I got (all different breeds). I am new to chickens. I have looked online at a number of photos of this breed and can't tell if it is a hen or rooster. Any help is appreciated. Photos are not great, but this one doesn t sit still much.
