HELP! I think my hen isn't a hen after all....

[EarthyMama]

We bought three "pullets" from a feed and seed store back in March -- a Rhode Island Red (center), a Dominique(up front), and a Silver Laced Wyandotte (in back). 6 weeks later, "Dot", the silver laced wyandotte, is 20% bigger than the other two. "She" is also starting to be very bossy - chasing the other two around. And has developed a darker red comb and wattles. I'm afraid its a rooster...... What do you all think?!

I'm afraid that you are correct. Sorry.

Yep you are right, its a cockeral! He is already got his "trademark" wing feathers of a cockeral.

I thought so....... I guess we'll be looking for a new home before he starts crowing. The other two look like hens though right?

The RIR does. Can you post a closer pic of the Dominique?

 

[EarthyMama]
