Sick 4 mo old pekin

[pitonia]

i have vent checked Angel multiple times over weeks span. and nothing pops out. iv'e never had this happen. She is 1 week away from 6 mo old, no drake feather when I got her over a month ago either.
Maybe shes gender confused,
I have a hen that for years laid me eggs. I noticed they started coming far and few between and then one day I got up to hear her crowing, she now sports a lovely tail and large but oddly shaped comb.

Now that happens here too. I have an EE 8 yrs old who crows sometimes She still looks like a hen but def belts out a crow now and again. lol

let us know when Angel lays her first egg.

My transgender hen is an EE too. Maybe it's that breed

Hopefully an egg will appear soon. With all the calcium she has been getting the shell will probably be hard as a rock.

If one doesn't appear in the next month I'll know she is a he with a hidden secret.

Hi Miss Lydia. Here is an updated pic of the group. Angel is on the far left, butt to us.

Now none have drake feathers. Three definitely distinct quack. Two peep quack.

I think their trying to drive me mad figuring them out

 

[Miss Lydia]

Look at Angel she looks just like the rest!!! Have you picked the two still peeping separately and walked off from the group ? Sometimes that can give ya a hint?

So for sure one has the raspy voice.

But Angel is still got a peeping sound.
Maybe more was not developed then just the legs.

There also is no eggs. I would think at just under 6 mo I would starts to see an egg. That and all the calcium.

You should start seeing eggs soon now the daylight is getting longer. I have a few chickens that just started laying this past week so it's coming. And you could be right Angel had a few set backs. I would think you'll know soon.

UPDATE;
So as I suspected Angel is really an Angelo. His drake feather finely appeared. And he has been renamed after my youngest favorite childhood character Darkwing Duck.

He is doing really well with the others and holds his own against the girls.

He can keep up with the pack. But unfortunately his leg has not completely straightened out.

Thanks to miss Lydia's help in Darkwings recovery.
