Ok, we had read all the info on this breed and knew we wanted to add one to our flock! But now we are confused!LOL
We got Jethrine in March sometime as a tiny chick and had our friend raise her until she was able to be out in the coop! He was raising several others for us as well, so no biggie.
It is now almost October and we are seeing spurs on Jethrine. No other rooster behavior so far, but they(her spurs) are as large as the BCM Roo(he crowed!) we ended up with and had to rehome(cant have them in Portland city limits) and you can see them from 10 feet away. Hubby says about 1/3 of an inch out on her leg and have grown larger in the past 2 weeks.
So, our question is..... since JG's mature so much slower..... could Jethrine be a Jethro? And if so, when should "she" start crowing, etc.? And no rooster squat or eggs from her yet that we have seen.
