I'm raising my first chickens (a flock of 6 who have been raised together since tiny chicks and all get along wonderfully) and they are now about 16 weeks old. They were all *supposed* to be pullets but I'm now wondering if the one White Plymouth Rock of the bunch (pictured below) is really a male. S/he has made a sound very like a rooster crow the last couple of days and I saw her/him push up against some of the Easter Eggers in what to my very inexperienced eyes seemed a suggestive way. I'm hoping that maybe Plymouth Rocks are just like this sometimes and this is a female. Can anyone offer me any comfort? I really don't want a rooster but Penny here is my favorite of all the chickens. If she is really a he, will his friendly personality change when he gets full grown?
