PLEASE HELP! NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A ROOSTER....

[Sharylva]

I have never had this breed of chicken before. It is a Cream Brabanter, loved the Mohawk. Was suppose to be a hen but over the last couple of weeks I've been noticing that its looking more like a rooster. The hatch date was 2/12/14. I live in an area where I can't have roosters and will have to give it away if it is a rooster. I was hoping that this fabulous group of chicken owners would be able to advise me. Thank you to everyone that will give me their opinion. Have a Blessed Day!

Well I have no idea if yours is a rooster or not. Because I have the exact same question about mine. My ee is 14 months old and is just a ton bigger then the other 14 month old birds.

The barbanter looks like a pullet. The EE, I'm not sure of. At 14 months I would automatically say pullet but those long, pointy saddle feathers have me wondering...

Yeah I keep telling her she is not allowed to be a rooster. She is most definitely the lead hen,

and is way bigger then the others. She is my only EE and my daughters favorite.

. She would be super sad if she was a he and we had to get rid of her/him.

Oh I said my EE was 14 months old...... I meant weeks

 

[Sharylva]

Qh that would be wonderful, I really want to keep her. Thanks for your input.

The EE looks like a roo to me

I really don't wanna hear that.

 

[Holas]

If I just keep calling it a she that will make her a hen right?
