Husband said he heard crowing

[audrey02026]

OK So My husband said that this bird was crowing....but he has been known to play games with me. This is my favorite of my 8 birds. Can anyone tell me is it a he or a she? Also he/she is only about 2 months old...do they crow that early?

I think he might be right

 

[blefky]

I'm afraid I agree with KLF73, those legs are pretty thick looking, and that is one really red face for 8 weeks. Oh, and yes, sometimes they do start crowing that early, sometimes even earlier. I have one right now that started about that age.

I have to concur...sorry, a roo...a beautiful one though!

 

[featherz]

eight weeks? wow. That's a roo for sure. very pretty tho!

 

[audrey02026]

Yeah I think I've known it for awhile but was in denial. I'm not allowed to keep roosters without a permit and I am also not allowed to have more than 4 hens. I didn't realize this and have 8 all together so i'm afraid to try and get the permit as I will probably have to get rid of some of my hens....I just dont know what to do.

Rooster for sure.

Perhaps sell him in a trio - your rooster and two of your hens (or three hens for a quad). You are more likely to find someone who wants him for a flock if you sell a trio (or quad) instead of just a rooster.

He would be gone, and you would be legal.
