Is Rosie a Rooster?

[Crusty McPottydoodle]

Well, as part of our flock, I got 3 sex-links. They are now coming up on 15 weeks. This one decided to try crowing this morning, and those tail feathers have me concerned.
Here I was all thrilled thinking she was getting ready to lay, and now it's looking like she's a he, and possibly heading to the farm up the road.

Yep you have a nice red cockerel. Not a sex link though as boys are meant to look completely different than the girls.

 

[Crusty McPottydoodle]

Well, darn, darn, darn.
First, friend is correct, and I am never gonna stop hearing about that, second, the little fluffy-butt was bought as a sex link pullet, so was sure we were golden.
I'd had a sex link before with a nice big comb and wattles years ago, so was happy to live in the world of 'it's a girl'.

Yup, looks like Rosie is a Rusty!

Nobody dared make fun of Rosey Grier, the massive football player ... even when he brought out his knitting!

Aww. Bye Rosie!
* I love your roosting bars.. I did the same thing in mine, thought that it would be more "natural"
