Trying to blend, but Mom thinks I'm a Boy

[ggrap]

Hi all. Just wanting a confirmation. This bird is 5 1/2 months old, and just started looking like a boy. Right? Blk Australorp.

Yep, that's a boy alright.

Looks like mom is right.....any crowing yet?

 

[okiehen]

Thats a rooster.

No crowing, I have had 3 from this batch that were supposed to be girls, but NOT. Came from the feed store. He is probably kind of intimidated by the big boys.

Thank you!

He looks similar to my two Black Stars, I'll trade you my Wyndotte roo for him!

Ahhhh....I get it (I raise ducks so I am slowly figuring out the chicken stuff).

The feathers on his back are pointy (saddle feathers), his comb is big for his age and his wattles are developing.....hence a boy...right?

I don't need another Roo....and I don't live very close to you. He is a Black Australorp.

Where in CO are you? Maybe someone local can take him off your hands?
