It starting to look like a rooster.
It happened to me also. LOL
I was so sure I had a hen that I dressed him up so pretty. LOL
Then at the 11th week he started crowing.
Of course I felt so bad that I had to make him some pants.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Yes. This one is also a boy
Sorry.
. Sometimes a rooster will not crow if there is a more dominant rooster around,

Hello and welcome!

You are right, your Tikka is a handsome roo.

Will you be able to keep him?

 

[chrissynemetz]

Sorry but yes, you have a handsome cockerel there.

 

[The Happster]

Here we are

Sorry....

He's also a cockerel.
Bought him from the same place?

The other two Wyandottes in the background are female, thankfully.

Hahahaha I'm actually finding this kinda funny now so I have 2 Roo's and 3 hens well that's just a recipe for disaster I'm guessing so back to the farm with the boys I bought them from hayrack farm over in Ellesmere port I've messaged them countless time and they keep telling me they are hens even me with no experience can clearly see male I'm just gutted as I've bonded with them especially Tikka the most

 

[TableTopFarms]

Two cockerels for sure.

If they claimed them to be pullets at the farm you bought them, you could just bring them back and exchange them for real pullets of the same age and breed.

That's my next destination I'm guessing

 

[The Happster]

Let us know how it goes.
Hopefully you can exchange them or get a refund.

Yeah that’s a cockerel.
