Hello!

[Binx5]

I’m new to raising chickens. We’ve been talking about it for a while but took the plunge a couple months ago. We have just 2 (hopefully) hens in our flock. One recently started occasionally crowing and I’m terrified of what comes next. Roosters are not allowed and with only 2 birds, I’m not sure what to do if one is a roo. Both were bought “sexed”.

Thanks. I’ve been stalking it for a little while now. Just officially “joined” today.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
If one is crowing it's likely a cockerel. You should have gotten three but you can't go back now. You'll have to rehome the cockerel and get another pullet to integrate with your current one.
How many chickens are you permitted? How large is your setup?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. The black and white bird is definitely a cockerel - can you post a profile picture of the other bird ?
