Someone crowed this morning :(

[JenBreese]

I have these 4 newish pullets and at least one started to crow. Which one(s) is the likely candidate? The all white on is a Delaware, then a Barred Rock and two splash crosses.

How old are they?

 

[JenBreese]

The splash were hatched 3/14 and the Delaware/Barred Rock on 3/20.

Hmm, the Delaware looks suspect.

Any other birds? They all look like pullets

All the other ones are older and I've seen them lay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like either the Delaware or the splash in the second picture.

If you don't have a rooster, I'm thinking one of them might be crowing... Hens do sometimes without a rooster! I've had it happen Your younger ones all look like pullets, *maybe* your single combed splash bird could be a cockerel but I'm doubtful and it would be quite slow to mature

I agree. I have a hen (she started as a pullet) that crows every morning until I feed.

All these are pullets.

I agree that those all look like pullets. I have a standard cochin hen that tries to crow (even though I also have a couple of roosters). She doesn't have a true multiple-syllable crow. It's more like an "AARRGH", which is tons of fun when she does it right by my ankle as I'm putting out feed...
