is my hen doing a good impersonation of a rooster? now with photo!

Roo. Sorry you have to get rid of him, but to look on the bright side, you get to get more chickens! Your hen will need a friend. Or two. Or five.

Thanks everyone.

So I'm hoping the place I got him will take him back otherwise I don't know what to do with him. I'm in Western Australia.
How will the remaining one get along with some other new ones? and should I try to find some of a similar age? (perhaps these are questions for a different section-please redirect me if I should put this elsewhere)

Sorry to derail but :O :O :O someone else from Australia!!! I'm in NSW and "illegally" keep 3 roosters

Luckily I have nice neighbours as I live very close to the city

I would. Too young and the current pullet might pick on the newer ones (but might not), and much older ones will probably pick on the current one. If you can't find any at the current one's age I would go with younger, because a lone chick will automatically be dominate over the younger ones and thus less establishing pecking order (but not to say there will not be).

I agree.

That is certainly an excellent impersonation! Good enough to be TRUE!
