My husband and I have a long back garden around 100ft we currently have 5 hens and looking to get some more,,,our children love them and enjoy getting involved although we think 1 may be a rooster
Hi,,,,we are from England and although this chicken is still young,,,it has long pointy feathers around the neck and a few by the tail,,,although it isn't crowing,,so very confused
Yes, this bird is a rooster. I can tell because of the pointed saddle and hackle feathers, the shiny sickle (long tail) feathers, the thick legs, and the blotchier, more uneven color pattern. He's very handsome!
That's a rooster. the fact that he has feathers on his legs and is larger makes me think one parent may have been brahma or cochin. Those breeds are both slower to mature, and the roosters often take longer to crow and mate than regular dual purpose breeds. But he's all male!
