Light Brahma Hen or Roo?

Well, guess what? Today "Annie" was startled and emitted something that sounded an awful lot like a crow! Annie is now called Anthony

No surprise there. Sorry. (

I was in the same situation with mine. I ordered 7 Light Brahma pullets and ended up with one broad shouldered big "girl" whose comb looked just like Anthony's at around 3 months of age. I went out to open the barn one morning and my big "girl" emitted something that sounded like a crackled crow coming through a tin can. I was bummed but now know what to look for early on. Hope you find some girls for Anthony

He is doing very well. In fact I have another rooster (Easter egger) named Hank. Hank is the Alpha so he crows first and this morning Mr. Anthony as we call him, has taken to crowing right after. It's oddly cute.
