Someone is crowing in the HEN HOUSE!!!!

[Al's Chicks]

Are either of these a roo?? I've heard crowing the last few mornings, but I thought I only had girls!! They are almost 5 months old and no eggs yet (or from the others who are the same age and look more pullet-ish then these two).
Please tell me I have a talented girl who can crow!

I know for a fact the last picture is a roo-those tail feathers are a dead give away!

 

[cafarmgirl]

Don't know about pic #1 but #2 is definately a roo. Pointy hackle feathers, pointy saddle feathers and a roo tail.

Oooo- I think they're both roos. Need a better pic of the cochin's back end to be sure.

Crap, I guess I've been in denial. I bought 6 "female" chicks from a lady who said she could sex them. This is the 3rd one she got wrong!!!

Your gold laced is a rooster.. Like sonew123 by the tail but all so the red in the bow of his wing, the sickles feathers and the hackle feathers..
I might be wrong but the cochin could be a rooster also ..

Im agreeing on the cochin too:-( Im sorry you need to talk to that lady who said she could "sex" them...

How long has the cochin had the big wattles & red comb? It could be a female just about to lay- but Ihave some the same age and they've still got pinkish combs.

Where are you at? I'd trade you a splash hen for him (if it's a him)

I think I see saddle feathers on the Cochin too...sorry, but I think you have 2 boys.
