One of my cockerels (well I thought was a cockerel) just laid an egg. I was wondering why "he" kept sitting in the nest box.
It is a RIR and has a bigger, redder comb and wattles than my other two RIR so I thought for sure it was a cockerel, except I have never heard any crowing. I even broke up a fight between this bird and another bird earlier when I let them all out together to free range. She even pecked the other bird in the comb and brought some blood. Maybe she is just an aggressive pullet; so much for my theory.
