Hi all,
I'm new to chickens, and quite inexperienced. We've had our two girls since they were itty and were set they were pullets once they began to feather.
We have one definite pullet, "Ducky", who is a Splash Orphington *brought from a breeder near us.
This is her @ roughly 7 weeks (4th January)
And her now @ roughly 5 months (5th April)
And our mystery girl, Dinky, we got from a friend yet we have no clue where she came from or what she is.
This is her @ roughly 4 weeks*we were told (30th December)
And her now @ just under 5 months (5th April)
There is no crowing, but she has started looking, in my opinion, like a cockeral. Very flighty also despite constant handling and less inclined to approach unlike our other girl who follows the food.
An ideas on breed or gender? Please and thanks.
We don't mind either way on 5 acres (our neighbors rooster crows), but curious to know. Both are housed overnight in individual dog kennels, so their free range day starts at 7-8AM depending on when we wake and let them out.
