Is my hen a rooster

[sqekka]

Hi, I need help. My hen has just discovered her vocals. She is 3 months old. Do I actually have a rooster?

It certainly could be a male. Are you implying that it crowed? If it crowed then it is definitely a male.

At three months that's a big comb and wattles, more than likely a rooster.

yes I think your hen is a rooster

Good lookin one though

 

[drumstick diva]

I think rooster also

Thanks so much for your responses. So gutted - I only have 2, so to take this one away (as I live in the city) will mean I only have 1. Has anyone had any success in introducing new chickens? I think its cruel to only have 1.

 

[sqekka]

yeah, it's been crowing the last 3 days. I was hoping it was trying to 'act' like a rooster!

it might go easier one on one as chickens don't like being alone, if you rehomed the rooster and wait a couple of days or so she will get lonely and perhaps be easier on another hen.
