Is Becky a Bobby?

[Catherinepowers]

I am a first time chicken owner and am not sure if my gorgeous white rock chicken is a hen or a rooster. The feed store I got her (?) from as a chick in December said it was a female, but I am starting to think maybe not. Becky is much larger that the other chickens we got at the same time and has been making a low crowing noise in the morning the last few days.

I think Becky is a Bobby… someone who’s better will tell you for sure. Good luck!

That’s a roo if I’ve ever seen one! What a pretty boy! And to help you in the future for sexing chickens, look at the neck and saddle. (the feathers before the tail) See how pointy they are? You can compare them to a hen and see that hers will be rounded. Here’s a photo for reference. (Photo isn’t mine)
