Hey everyone,

I can't figure out if my speckled sussex is a roo or a hen???? I have not heard a cockadoodledoo yet, only little chicken noises here or there. She (I am hoping) is very sweet. There is another rooster in the flock they has been cockadoodledooing for a month now and I can definitely see that he is a rooster. I am posting a picture of this chicken below. Let me know what you think!

 


Here's why he is a cockerel. Note his high head, with huge comb and wattles. Note how tall he stands on those large male legs. Look at his tail. Stereotypical tail, just like the roosters on weather vanes or cereal boxes. That boy has never been to Venus and never intends to buy a ticket. LOL
