Wellcom and shalom.

It sounds like firsts crowing attempts of a cockerel.
Are you sure it is a hen?
Can you post some pictures of it?

I'm pretty sure it's a hen. I could be wrong. This is our first year raising chickens. They are about 13 weeks right now. I'll attach some pictures.

I see a cockerel. His coloring is very light which is common in roosters of this breed and i can just barley see some saddle feathers growing in. Sorry to say but you hen is a rooster.

That's what we feared . We can't have a rooster in our area. Anyone know of rescues that will take roosters in Ohio?

I agree... sounds like a roo finding his voice. I had one that suddenly sprouted saddle feathers at 13 weeks.

Where about in Ohio? Some of the dog/cat type shelters will also take farm animals. You can always try to rehome him yourself. It's unfortunate roosters are generally unwanted.

It is a cockerel.
So one of 2 choices :
1.Reahome
2. Chicken soup

We would love to keep him but we can't in our city . Parma Heights
