Just joined and I need help!

[chickencapers]

I have a RIR and a Polish which are both about 13 weeks old. For the last few days, the Polish (Myrna) has been making a suspicious sound. It's not a cock a doodle do sound but more of a waaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaa and loud! Neither of them has begun egg laying yet.


She doesn't have any signs of wattles but she is showing some aggressiveness toward the other chicken (Pearl). I am not allowed to have Roosters in my neighborhood and would love help figuring out if she is a he!

Sorry, but your Polish is indeed a cockerel. The pointy hackle and saddle feathers are a dead give away. Can you post a picture of the RIR? Those tail feathers look somewhat suspicious.
