Hi all,
Thank you for having me. I'm new to raising hens and got 9 chicks from a local husband and wife who are fairly new to incubating eggs. They thought they identified 1 as a rooster and 8 others as hens but at 15 weeks, we are finding out that 4 are roosters. The last one in question just started crowing the other day, but only when the alpha crows. He's the one we knew was a rooster from the begging.
The latest (Barred Rock mixed breed) doesn't seem to have the same rooster tail feathers so we are wondering if may this bird could be a hen that crows.
Looking forward to reading through all the discussion threads and appreciate your help!

Glad to have you! You'd get better responses if you made a thread in the "What breed and Gender?" side of the forum! Hope to see you around!
