treehousechicks Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 It seems one of our hens might be a cockrell - she started cok adoodle dooing in the morning just before we open the door. She is also consideraly larger than the other three with a bigger plumage. I read somewhere that females can impersonate - any advice?? We are very new to this having only attended one of claire's morning sessions in Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say she could be a he Where did they come from? most hybrid suppliers will only have girls for sale so you can be reassured , if they are pure breeds a mix up may have happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
