So I got five birds in the late fall from Meyer Hatchery. They were all supposed to be girls. We've been suspicious about one of the birds, Duck, for a while. This past week he started crowing. For the past several months Duck has been ruffling the feathers around his neck and hopping around (not the mating/dragging feather thing) around another of the birds, Giraffe. Duck will frequently peck at Giraffe and they'll scuffle a bit. Does that mean that Giraffe is also likely a rooster?
Love those names The aggression does not necessarily mean that Giraffe is also a rooster, sometimes hens are just unwilling to submit to a rooster. If you post some photos, the BYC community could definitely tell you if Giraffe is a hen or roo!
