Help please! My chicken is so loud!

[franceskate]

We thought it was a she, that was just loud, but now it sounds like a rooster ALL THE TIME. Not just in the morning but all throughout the day. We think she is a Polish hen about 21 weeks or do. She is fed well, given clean fresh water several times a day and has a pretty large area to roam. The crowing is so loud that we are afraid neighbors will complain. Can anyone tell me if it is a hen or roo? I'm trying to figure out how to post a pic... stand by.

The profile pic is of the hen in question...can you help?

sorry picture is too small but, polish hens usually have a rounded crest and males tend to have a spikey rock start look. You could post pictures on the "What gender or breed is this."

Or put "polish thread" in the search box and see what comes up. They breed thread would probably bring more knowledgeable feedback. But IF it is crowing all thru the day I'm betting it's a rooster.

Welcome to BYC! Definitely post a picture here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this but crowing is a bad sign. Good luck to you.

I'm sorry, but I think that both birds in your profile pic are cockerels.

I don't know how to stop crowing but I think your chicken is a rooster. Also, when he crows it could mean he is lonely. Hope this helps.
