After my big disappointment of being given a "buff orpington pullet" who turned out to be an EE roo, we're getting worried about this little one that we were also told was a she, but is now acting similar to how our roo was acting. Territorial, making these throaty sounds all the time, and always running like crazy if you even look like you're about to come near. Are these characteristics of all chicks as they reach maturity regardless of gender, or should we be worried? As with all the chick we where given, we were only given a "round about" age of 3-5 months (which, from what we learned about our EE roo, could've been false). This one we assumed was closer to 3 when we got her/him, because she was so tiny, but it may have been younger than that, we've had "her" since Aug 6, so next week will be 3 mos.
Sooo, that being said, "she" could be anywhere from 3-6 mos (still, lol). Her mom is a banty cochin.
Here she is the day we got her (8/6), w/her mom (supposedly 3-5 mos)
A month later (9/2):
Another month later (10/2):
