Well, then it is a hen My girls are exhibitionists. They let me know when they lay and one used to make so much noise I would go in and she would raise up and drop an egg so I could praise her LOL

really never had a bird that happy with me

Some very submissive cockerels don't turn red in the comb until they are almost fully matured if there is a very dominant cockerel in the group. Hackles, saddle feathers, and crowing mean no eggs from that bird.

 

[pennyJo1960]

kinda odd but you may be right no talons either at least not yet?

None of what I write next really applies to this here, it just got me thinking.


Spurs don't always mean rooster. I had a silver ameraucana hen with half inch spurs. Granted hens don't normally grow them until more mature except for specific breeds.

Just as lack of spurs doesn't mean hen. My silkie roosters do not grow spurs.

This boy is almost three

 

[pennyJo1960]

so maybe silkie hiding hiding in the woodpile on it
I have no idea of the lineage this is from Marcell eggs she got out heavens
know where

2 D'uccle roosters need a home I ended up with 4. The D'uccle are about 3-4 months. They are starting to breed with my hens their is just to many roosters. I live in Mount Vernon Wa
