Hi all, in definitely a newbie when it comes to chickens. I’ve had my small flock of three for about two months now. They were somewhere between 5 and 12 weeks old when we got them, and the seller (who had many chickens, ducks, and other birds, and coops so probably knew her stuff!) said they were already sexed. However now I’m starting to doubt my Penny is a Henny... she’s started “crowing” like a rooster in the mornings, it’s not very clear but she’s definitely loud. She also has a large comb and wattle. Really hoping she’s not a rooster as I’ll probably need a separate pen for her.. I’ll attach a pic..

For reference she’s had her comb and wattle since we got her. Also the lady said she would stay smaller as that’s in her breed.

please help identify if she’s a Henny or Roo!

(Video of her this morning)

Ah man, was hoping she was a she ☹ is two hens for one rooster too little? Should I get more hens? They seem to be a good pack that gets along well! Just curious how things will be a bit further down the road..

As long as he isn't over breeding they should be fine. If you can find a couple more hens they'll likely get along better though.
