Hen or Roo?

[brijay2]

This little one is 7 mos., very tiny, Serama, no crowing or laying yet. Some have told me roo but I'm wondering if it is a hermaphrodite chicken???

 

[hdowden]

roosters have those long slinder pointed saddle and hackle feathers. he is deffentlly 100% cockerel

Boy all the way

 

[kari_dawn]

what makes you think he's a Hermie?

 

[farmerChef]

he is a rooster. He's not crowing because of your other (more dominate) roo.

 

[brijay2]

Because he does not crow, is submissive to other roo and does not lay eggs!!!!

 

[kari_dawn]

Hermie is just young. He's all boy

 

[MassivelyScrambled]

Yep. that's a roo... and as others pointed out, sometimes when an older or more dominant Roo is already present, younger ones won't crow.

 

[kari_dawn]

Oh! And just cause there is no eggs at seven months means nothing! My girls JUST started laying, and they are 8.5 months! Your guy is still all boy though
