Hen or roo?

[Sricher91]

I thought I had all pullets but my boyfriend swore he heard this chicken crow today. So BYC what do you say?

PS chicken is 16-17 weeks old.

That’s a pullet (watch out for an egg, she looks very close to laying age!! )

A very pretty pullet!

Dominique pullet.

Maybe the crowing he heard was the egg song? Did you find an egg anywhere?

Sometimes a dominate hen will imitate a rooster to show dominance and its not quite the same but, that's a pretty girl. promise.

I've heard one of my two barred rock hens crow twice. Not as good as a rooster crow, but definitely a crow.
