Hen or Roo - I havent a clue!

Hi

can someone help me please - could you give me some idea of the sex of my chook please? Im still pretty clueless when it comes to keeping chickens and the person mine came from was moreso!

there were some interesting and vocal noises this morning and we have noticed that she/he lol stands on top of the smaller 2 a lot.



Thanks


Andy

 

Ive been comparing to pics around and im starting to think so myself too - its hard with having no knowledge of differences in breeds or anything though.

is there any sure fire way to know.

and more to the point.. what to do if it is? the whole think with the chickens was my own (well - their own) eggs from the garden

 

thanks... thats given me things to look out for in the future

the old man with a sore throat effort at a crow this morning was what set the little bell going in my head lol.

I live in a fairly built up area so im thinking we wont be able to keep him unfortunately.

part of me would like to (and i understand its good for the hens too?) but i think the neighbours would have a lot to say about it, especially in the summer months.

 

how about if the girlfriend wont let me get rid?

I dont mind keeping him if the noise levels dont get high enough to annoy the neighbours.. I have a large garden and theres nobody too close so it may be ok.


bit of an odd mechanical question too haha... he's MUCH bigger than my white silkies.. is breeding even possible?

thanks for all of the help folks
