Pullet crowing???

[dafdhenderson]

New chicken owner here. I bought sexed Easter Eggers that were supposed to be all female. They will be 3 months old June 6th. The last two mornings we have heard one crowing. We haven’t caught them doing it, so we don’t know which one (we have 12). Do we have a rooster? And how can we tell?

roosters have redder combs, pointy neck feathers, long tail feathers, and sometimes thicker legs. could you post pictures?

Post some pictures of your birds and we can help you determine their genders. Where did you buy them from? If they came from a feed store, their chicks are never actually sexed. If you bought them online, most hatchery's only have a 90% accuracy.

I will get some pics and post in a bit. Thank you.

I got them at a feed store (Atwoods). I will get some pics and post in a bit.

I am suspecting one of these two.

I am suspecting one of these two. I have 12. So I can send more pics. They are both bigger than the rest and have the red comb on top.

I’m really no good at this, but I suspect #2 is a cockerel. Others will know better

First is female and second is male.
