so my parents got a whole bunch of chicks from meyer hatchery in ohio, and ordered them all as pullets. however, we have suspicions about one of our mottled anconas being male. they are about 8 weeks old now. the chick/chicken in question has a much larger and redder comb and wattles and seems a little bigger/more developed than the rest. my dad also observed it making a noise that he said almost resembled crowing. but then again, that could just be an awkward cluck since they’re going through “chicken puberty.” and i’m trying to keep in mind that this could just be a very mature pullet.
I have attached 2 photos to this - one of what the other mottled ancona pullets look like at this point in time, and then one of the chicken in question. what does everyone think?
