Polish Roo? Doesn't act like one.

[annamcdani]

This is Pepperjack my polish chick he's almost 4 mo. I think he's a Roo. But I watch him closely and he has no behavior of a Roo. No calls no interest in any ladies. Acts like a hen foraging all day. Input is appreciated.

Here is a more recent pic I just took.

Boy. Lots of rooster feathers and that red on back? Roo pattern in mixed color breeding.

As for behavior, he's still young.

He is male, but he's just a baby still. Give him time and he'll come into his own.

Thanks he's very jumpy. And a loner. I ended up having 5 Roos out of my 13 chicks. Ahhhhhh. The local feed store said they were sexed. Wrong! Nevertheless Peperjack is staying he's so interesting to watch.

I have raised quite a few chickens over my life and have decided that in almost every flock there are about two chickens that decide to act a little different. It makes raising them fun. The most interesting is when a hen acts just like a rooster----

Rooster for sure.

All the other Roos from the clutch are playing the part. Not Pepperjack. It is fun. I'll post another pic in about a month. Thanks!

My polish roo Goldie is very mellow, at 17 weeks, he is just starting to crow. I haven't seen any mating or anything yet.

Did you order pullets and get those two cockerels instead?
