Hi, hope someone can give me a bit of info,
I've got some sebright chicks & they're growing really quickly.When i got them i was told they were 1 male(big red,triangle shaped comb) & 6 females.I moved them to a larger coop a few weeks ago & everything was going great,all happily eatting & growing but 1 of the 'females' is now a bit larger than the male & seems to be bullying him a bit - he isn't standing up to her- he just ducks down until she struts off.As soon as the male ducks down she struts off to do her own thing.Could 'she' be a 'he' (no sign of a crest yet)

Photos would be a big help. Front view to show combs and side view standing, so we can check for other gender features. How old are they?

Welcome to BYC! It is a possibility that that 'hen' is a rooster.

Hi everyone,thanks for your replies,tried to find my camera to send some pics of the sebrights but moved house a few weeks ago & it could be
anywhere,so had to get some pics on my fone so not great quality but will have a go,ok so the 'girl' in question is the top & the male futher down.They were suposed to be 4-8 weeks old when i got them but i think they were younger-i've had them for 4 weeks now so they should be 8-12 weeks but i did have to put 2 very small chicks under heat for 3 weeks.
I've included a silkie chick pic that was hopefully female(bought at the same time) but after reading loads of threads i reacon its fairly safe to say that 'she' is definately 'he'-will becalling him 'Jack Sparrow'
