Hen or Roo

| This is my 13 week old Speckled Sussex, Phoebe. Her comb and waddle are not red yet, which makes me say hen, but does she have saddle feathers coming in? I have the opportunity to take her back to the feed store and exchange her for a pullet (not necessarily the same breed), but they will only do the exchange up to about 3 months, so I need to decide now. She’s super friendly and I hate to part with her, but we don’t want another rooster. I could also wait to let her grow out more and see, but if she is a rooster we will be left trying to rehome her and exchanging her won’t be an option. [link] [comments] |
