Hen or roo light brahma???

[boogburr37]

[/IMG][/IMG]I have a light brahma named allie, she is a rescue that i picked up this spring.. So i have no clue where she came from or anything of that sort.. I just know that she was kept in a fish tank with no heat lamp and fed only about 4 saltine crackers a day. When i first brought her home she stood in her food bowl for literally about 2 hours. She was very very malnourished and plain looked like a dead chicken walking. She was very slow at developing so i was sure she was a hen until one day just about two weeks ago i heard a strange sound by the coop, believe it or not, it was allie. It doesn't sound like a real roo, but I've yet to see any eggs, also, she doesn't fight with my banty roo duke. I need to know if she will be allie or albert ha.

Hens can also make sounds that sound similar to a rooster's crow, so pictures would help.

I would say rooster from the feathering, comb, and wattle size.

That's good, many people who find out that their "hen" is a rooster usually have to give him away.

No way! I saved his little tush and hes here to stay!

Rooster. Brahmas are slow to mature and often don't challenge the dominant rooster, even with a big size difference, at least not until they're older.
