I was so certain she was a girl. Polish, 2 months

Hey y’all, I hope everyone is having a great day so far! I’m having a surprising one myself. I walked out to the coop where I’m integrating some 2 month olds into my flock… only to hear and see one of the babies crow! TWICE!!! I didn’t get a video, but I do have a video of one of my other chicks crowing and it sounds exactly the same!!! Is she definitely a boy? She puffed her chest up and stretched out her neck and everything too.

Sounds like a cockerel

that Marans is a boy. Polish mature quite quickly. Post pics of its crest and comb

If the chick crowed at 2 months old, it is a male.

Not a Polish and a cockerel.

The video was just an example of it crowing.

Welllll hopefully he’ll be quiet enough so that bribing the neighbors with eggs will be enough for me to be able to keep him
