four days old, and a crowing little roo

[billfields]

4 days seems pretty young to show any type of sex characteristics. My understanding is that only skilled folks can even sex a chick that young. If it is making "crowing" noises I would check it carefully to make sure it is not in some sort of distress.

Yet, it happens. Several BYCers have had early crowing roos. I'd had to check with speckledhen to see how young her precocious little roo was trying to mate, but I believe it was only a couple of weeks old.
