These guys are all on their 20th week.
So, I have this EE who can't make up his... her... mind as to what he wants to be when he grows up. Here are photos of him.
He didn't lay the egg but he wanted to sit on it. He's halfway between a roo and a hen it seems. He doesn't make any male sounds at all but sounds like one of the pullets, and has never attempted to crow. He is very light, and can fly over six feet directly up into the air, which I've never seen before in my life!
Can anyone offer some help as to what's going on? Is he just a REALLY late bloomer or is there something deeper?
For a comparison, some of the others. One of my SLW pullets, from today.
Another EE roo.
And another.
I got these three guys together and they're the same age, from the same batch.
