Let’s play guess the breed!
I hatched this one out 3 months ago from some backyard mixes I got from a friend. I’m not sure what breeds she has so the sky’s the limit when it comes to guessing. While the colouring is off I’m thinking she looks a lot like a legbar.

Rooster. Silkie cross.

Rooster. Silkie cross.

Very possible! It’s so far super quiet and haven’t heard any crowing but definitely grew its comb way faster than the others. Hopefully if it is a rooster it stays quiet and I can keep it in town
My hens seem to pick on it the most though, if it is a rooster at what age will this switch?

It may never switch. Hens can be above cockerels in the pecking order

Shoot! I’ve got two bully hens that could really be put in their place!

It may change around as he ages. Time will tell.
