Hen or Rooster?

[Pau]

Hi everyone,

I ordered all hens, but I have one that looks suspiciously like a rooster. Anyone can give me some insight? Thanks.

Will try many things before the culling. Might release it into the wild. Thank you for all the replies

Not sure that is the best idea really. It is a domestic bird, bred for centuries to be reliant on humans. It's like dumping a dog or cat on the street and hoping they just fend for themselves when in reality they will die horribly.

Cockerel, hate no crow collars, and dumping a bird is flat out inhumane. Better to rehome or process and eat.

Absolutely do not do that. It's unethical and inhumane.

If you can't bring yourself to cull and eat him yourself give him to someone who will.

Yep, that's a boy.

It is an ancona. It is a very beautifil chicken. I do not want to kill it. Have to figure something out.

It's a cockerel, and please don't release him into the wild. He is a domestic bird and he doesn't know how to survive in the wild. He will be food for a predator in no time. If you can't keep him, then give him away.

Yes.
