I know it’s a rooster but what breed please

[roosterhavoc]

Isn’t that why people join this forum to learn? I’m sorry but my Audrey is not 6months old yet... I’ve only had her for about a month or 2 and the person who sold her to me has lied about the age and the breed... I haven’t ruled out that she could be rooster but I am standing by my own belief that she is a pullet... she’s now about 24-30weeks old and still hasn’t crowed still hasn’t tried mounting the other girls and still hasn’t layed an egg.. what you forgot to mention is that the vet also said that the bird was very malnutritioned and anyone who looks at the photos from day 1 post to the last lot I posted can see a difference on how much work I have put into this chicken...

As for the collar debate if it’s not recommended to use one on a game fowl then obviously I would do more research and reconsider that breed for a rooster....

I’m sorry but I’m so sick of being “attacked” just because I’m new at all of this I’ve only owned chickens for a little over 8months and some of you attack me like I’ve had them my whole life and that I should just know all of this...

I’m not attacking you at all. I am telling you that putting a no crow collar on a gamecock is a terrible idea though.

And for those who can’t be bothered looking here are the photos of when I got her and what she looks like today...

Can you post those in the thread about Audrey, too?
I don't want to take this thread further off-topic by also talking about Audrey here.

I would wait on getting a rooster, as those are distinctly rooster saddle feathers in the last pic.

That is a male, in my opinion.

I think that a collar might choke him, and they also don't really fully stop them from crowing? I'm not sure if a rooster is a good idea if they aren't allowed and your neighbors don't like them....

I know I'd seen the first one, but I hadn't noticed the second one. I'll go look again.

Edit to add: OK, found it. I had to go back a dozen pages (that thread moves too fast!)
