Hi.....I am new to posting here at BYC but have used this site for information for a long time. You guys are wonderful!!! I was hoping maybe you could help me solve a mystery. My largest hen (or so I thought) started crowing this morning! I believe she/he is about 18 weeks old and I am shocked that it might actually be a roo. I can't believe I had no idea until today although now, I think I see multiple traits of a rooster that I have somehow ignored up until this point. I was wondering if you could give me your opinions as to what it's gender might be.... her/his name is Scratch.
Scratch was sold to us as Aruacana but I believe she/he is most likely an EE. He/she is much larger and taller than any of my other chickens. I will try to attach a couple of photos. They are the best I have at the moment but I can try to take some better ones later today.
Thank you in advance for your help! I am new to keeping chickens and I'm learning all the time. I love them though and wonder why I waited so long to get some. Thanks again!
