It looks like a pullet, so the crowing is confusing. Do you currently have any rooster?

Looks like a pullet to me? What kind of crowing? Is it a full crow or just trying to grow into it? I have a pullet around the same age who was making peculiar "crowing" noises the other day, but I think it was related to heat.

Maybe it's a trick of the eye, but this bird looks to me like it has somewhat of a beard and muff, and its legs don't appear to be a pure yellow. Also, can you get a close up shot of it's comb? It's not very clear in this pic (and this was the clearest one), but the comb looks like it is probably a pea comb. If so, you have an Easter Egger and not a New Hampshire. If it is an EE with a pea comb, it can be sexed accurately by its comb. Male EEs have three rows of peas in their combs, female EEs have a single row of peas.

^ That's what I was thinking about that picture. And having only recently learned that EE's might not grow wattles hardly at all, and could have any type of comb, that makes perfect sense.

It is approximately 15 weeks old and yes I have a rooster has single comb and yellow legs I own and breed EE's so definitely not one and those pictures were the best I can get of it they are fast and I'm getting older....

If not for the crowing, I would say pullet. Are you sure it isn't just cackling really loudly?

Positive have 13 other pullets with it and it's the only one sounding like its going to croak over you know the sound it's like what in the world then laugh too funny not to
