One of mine is trying to crow

[AMHARFFEY]

G'day y'all. My little chickadees are now 10 - 12 weeks old and one is trying to crow. He shuts up when I try to spy. This gold laced is 'Rhonda'

This silver laced is 'Gilligan' and he-she is camera shy and always manages to turn it's head away just as I click

Not anymore, that's Ronny now

You might want to switch their names to Ronny and Gilbert, because those are both boys.

He has followed the quintessential typical 'female' wyandotte maturity markers - first and fastest to feather up, quick to develop wattles and go red. He's 2 weeks younger than 'Gilligan' and 'Patricia' and his wattles are much larger.

This is 'Patricia', 12 weeks old

Why would those make him female? Wouldn't they be signs of a boy? This much wattle and comb at 12 weeks is a definite boy.

I hate to break it to you but these are all male.
