Help! One of my chickens sounds like a rooster

[dmcanallen]

Thanks for all of your input and yes, please keep it coming. After reading your responses and seeing other pics, I am not sure that she is a she. At approx 18 weeks, how can we be sure?

I think that "she" might just be a "he". Here is a picture of Pearl who is a little over a year old in the pic....her comb does not look to be as big as your chicken's. Hmmm.....

Good Luck!

PS - Like I mentioned before.....depends on where you live in Atlanta and your neighbors. There is a rooster 5 doors down from us and no one has complained about him.

email me if you have any questions since we live in the same city!

You have a rooster there, sorry. It's not just the comb, but the shiny, skinny saddle feathers hanging off the back of the bird that tell you it's a rooster.

when I read the OP, I remembered one of my Grandfather's sayings "whistling girls and crowing hens, always come to some bad end"

but, I'm with the others. she is definitely a he!

I'm so proud of myself. I consider myself still a newbie and I thought it looked like my B O rooster for the very same reasons speckledhen cited.
He is adorable.

Boy! I learned about those long, thin neck feathers, when my biggest "hen" morphed into a roo!
