OEG bantam pullet crowing???

[Fluttershy17]

I have seven bantams that are between 10-11 weeks old. I am positive four are cockerels. This morning, as the boys began their pitiful attempts at crowing, this little one made a couple of crowing sounds. For the love of all things holy, please tell me she is actually a SHE!

I would guess that is a female since it does not have much comb development.

That what I thought, as well. Thank you!

Pretty little girl....her coloration is female-specific.

Yep! She’s a SHE!
Hens can be pretty noisy, too!

I have a welsummer who confused the heck out of me when she started crowing at 5 months. It wasn't exactly a crow, but a wail, kind of like what cockerels do when they're trying to figure their voices out. Welsummers have very sex-specific feathering, so I was sure she was female... but.. then I was confused and not as sure. She did turn out to be female, lays lovely eggs, and still makes the wailing noise. We call her Moaning Myrtle. (Almost went with Wailin' Jenny... maybe you can use that name.)

Looks like a pullet to me!

I saw a OEGB hen do a squeak crow when she was upset that there was a EE stranger hen in her area. Multiple crow attempts after kicking the stranger hen's butt. Right now the OEGB in question is all broody on some eggs, so for sure a hen!

Agreed

I didn’t know about the color! That’s awesome!
