Chickvic Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm no expert but looking at the wattles and comb I would have said he. Very well developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'd say he...sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewandcarly Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 ive just put him (hugo) on his own for tonight to see if he lays an egg tomorrow morning!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have a HEN that looks like Hugo but she is an ex batt and her hormones have gone wild. You could be lucky though...the tail end isn't that flamboyant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I am not very good but I was leaning more he and than she. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I would say she. She has a tail like one of my black rocks! I would also say that she might not have laid because of the cold weather. If it is a he however, he may not crow due to another cockerel in the vicinity who is more dominant. That has happened twice to me. But I do think it's a girl. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 well I said he because of the way he/she is standing and in another thread it was pointed out to be a possible boys stance.... am still learning though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbird Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think boy cos of the hackle feathers looking pointy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Im convinced its a boy....sorry. All the pictures look "cockerel" to me, he/she has very long legs. However, if it turns out female there's hope for me with my "is it or isnt it a cockerel scenario" Am also pleased to hear at 8 months you havent heard a crow.......which means I could have months yet...

Egluntyne Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Everything says boy to me. The stance, the wattles and comb, the hackle feathers. There is even a spur developing on the left leg. (Having said that, one of my girls has an impressive set). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Definately as boy.....more chance of me laying an egg i think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 What breed is it?.......looks like a Leghorn girl to me Looking back your posts I see they're Barnevelders, in which case prob a boy......the boys don't have the defined 'lacing' of the girls, a lot more black, but would have thought he would have more droopy saddle feathers by now. Good pics here http://www.kippengrabbelton.be/ Click on rassenparade in the pale yellow section, then scroll down the menu on the left for barnevelder pics.

andrewandcarly Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 well he has 'cock a doodled' a few times over the last few days so i think it is safe to say he is a boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 bless him, he probably thought all this speculation over whether I am a he or she, I'll show them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewandcarly Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 he's certainly showed us! his crowing has got better and better each day. not quite the 'cock a doodle do' yet but its getting there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
