Its funny. I have had chickens all my life, I used to show them as a kid in 4-H. But this is my first Spitzhauben. It was purchased as a hen. It crouches down like a hen when you reach for it, it does not Crow, it does lay eggs, and gets jumped by my roosters any chance they get.
In my book if it crows its a rooster, if it lays eggs its a hen.
Now, I look at all your photos, and mine does look like the roosters. With the v comb and the waddles, but it isn't. Maybe she is in drag!
Or a real butch hen
!
anyhow, she is my favorite, and her two chicks are very cute as well, although they are crosses. And I think she is very pretty.
Is there such a thing as a hermaphrodite chicken?
She lays a medium to small egg. My other hens are more the large brown egg layers, so its pretty easy to tell.
And I got her from Ideal. I actually got two, but a coyote got the other one
.
Those are mighty big wattles for a hen but the eggs kinda say something.
