Please, BYC people, tell me this is a girl

[Sue Gremlin]

I beg of you.
This is a 13-week-old Barred Rock x EE cross. It had the markings of a female BR when it hatched, so I never really considered that "she" may be a cockerel.

Please tell me we have a girl. This is my husband's favorite, she flies up to his shoulder like a parrot, and he goes out to tuck her into bed every night.

I'm sorry.

Little cockerel.

 

[chub_the_chick]

Looks like a cockerel.

 

[Trisseh]

13 weeks with that comb? Definitely a cockerel.

 

[sourland]

Sorry,

 

[Sue Gremlin]

sigh
At least now that we know we have a rooster, he's a tame one. Let's hope he stays that way.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Yup, definitely a boy. So sorry.

 

[Birds of a Feather]

Cockerel.

 

[Sue Gremlin]

We named "her" Polly because she'd fly up and sit on our shoulders.
Polly has a penis.

So I guess his name is now Paulie.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
