What gender is my rooster?

[Chuckin]

Chickens don't care about pronouns. Again, use either, odds are they won't pick one out. I'd lean towards whatever they end up being

ok but i feel uncomfortable referring to him/her as a him if i dont know if he/she is comfortable with that. after all, animals can be transgendered. https://www.vice.com/en/article/8x8bez/yes-there-are-trans-animals

Then refer to them as a her. Again, they really don't care. Otherwise I'm sure one of mine would have shown a preference by now

thank you for the help, but how do i talk about him/her to other people? like what pronouns should i use?

How about the bird laid an egg this morning! And it was a beautiful robins egg blue

Accentuate the positive, focus on the wonderful gift you will be receiving from that gorgeous hen. If you don’t want her send her my way - she’s a beauty, I bet she lays lovely brown eggs when she starts to lay them

Picture? Also, animals don’t have the mental capacity to be “trans”.

@chanticleer
Do you have Chantecler chickens? Just asking because your ID.

This is a female according her saddle feathers.. she is not a rooster. Some roosters like the seabright breed are hen feathered and do not get male specific saddle feathers.. but hens can and do grow spurs and also crow... they may even mount another hen out of dominance.. it;s not a gender thing.. Starting as early as 10 weeks but usually around 12 and more flowing close to 16 weeks.. examples from google

The only one confused here is you.. she has all the characteristics of a hen and is acting like a hen too.. what is the confusion? No rudeness meant here.. real conversation.

And she is a lovely pullet, think I will get some light Sussex next Spring, what a gorgeous colour ( can I say colour? Can I say gorgeous?), and she has wattles - I have a thing for wattles
