Looking for a little help figuring out the gender of this bird. This chicken is currently 11 weeks old. I'm told it's a Crevecoeur, but I can't figure the sex. No spurs, but I'm not sure when they start growing. Very small 2 prong comb, basically hidden by crest. I've read that a hen will often have her comb hidden by her crest, but maybe it's still growing. Now heres the kicker......
From time to time this thing lets out a little 3 syllable crow, a very weak "er,er, err", not the familiar longer "er, er, er, er, errr". First time I heard it I though I surely had a rooster, but then read a dominant hen will crow in the absence of a rooster. She is definitely the dominant one between her and my little black Japanese.
Maybe someone can confidently answer this question, or else I have to wait for a robust crow or the appearance of an egg!
Thanks for looking.
When will I see defined spurs?
When will a rooster master its crowing?
Eggs @ 20 weeks?
