Hi
This is my first post and only about 8 weeks into my chicken journey. This is Harleen. She(?) is a Mottled Houdan who was supposed to have been sexed prior to purchase. However I fear she may not be all the hatchery believed.
She is now 9-10 weeks old and has started to make what could be described as “proto-crows” early in the morning and in the evening. In the past few days the red pigment is really coming through in the head and I fear I’m seeing the start of a v-shaped comb coming in (which, as I understand it, only the m as let’s have). Maybe it’s to early to tell but it feels more and more like I may have to find a new home for “her”.
Any and all advice most welcome.
Thank you
