Little mixed Chicken- Pullet or Roo?

[NoseyChickens]

I was fairly certain this was a little pullet until she made a very odd sound this morning. Almost sounded like it was trying to crow. She (?) is between 4-6 months old. What's your opinion?

 

[Little Chicky]

I'm thinking roo

 

[Chicken Fruit]

is it a Cochin EE cross? It looks like some sort of EE cross...

I really dont know. My cochin hens all looks comby like this one.. and you'd think by 4-5 months if he was a he he'd be crowing already.

Maybe roo?

lol. I am so not helpful...

that is a roo-ster and a beauty at that!
notice the BIG and RED comb and wattles, a pullets comb and wattles would be pinkish and less then half that size.
you have a great looking roo! good luck with him

 

[NoseyChickens]

Oh No! We weren't planning on having any roos! I'm not sure what we'll do. It is WAY more red than all of our girls.

sorry for the bad news but roo he is

i would take him if i could lol but i can't

maybe you can find a good home for him

 

[NoseyChickens]

Well we live in the middle of nowhere. We are allowed to have roos. Quite a few people in our town have them. No one complains. I will wait and see how loud "he" is. My Dh will probably want to keep him. He's all into my chickens now and suddenly wants to hatch eggs.

 

[obe10]

ok, good luck with him

So far this little guy is only making the funny crowing sound for a few minutes in the morning when I first let them out of the coop. Will it get louder and more often as it gets older. Probably not a question that can be answered I know, more of a wait and see thing.

Most likely answer is louder, but as to frequency? That's a tossup!
