Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

@windwalkingwolf she is a year and only just started to change. SHe is small hen sized. Came out of the mixed pen with males, is now in with just one and 3 "other"girls.

pretty sure she's a hen, but likely hormonal imbalanced....or more remotely an intersex. Can't really tell an intersex until processing....so....if an intersex then there may not be any eggs, or few and not fertile. BUT i have had young hens look exactly like this when put in with new birds and trying to establish the pecking order.

OK so it's likely her move in with different birds brought it on. Looks like a normal hen this am! Will let you know when processed. SHe hates me and keeps trying to go all dominant!

String & magnet

SO you'll come and do that for us @ross ? I don't have the gift.

Bring your birds

Ross I forgot how do you do the string and magnet test. I want to try it on the silkies. Course I might not be any good at it.

Bruce Jen was confusing right from the start, and stayed that way. If I had to guess, think this is just a high T female. "Number 27" that I got from you doesn't strut or do other typically Tom things, but she is VERY dominant, hasn't laid an egg in at least two years, and has a six inch beard.

SHe does appear to be settling ad looks like a normal hen most of the time. I think she tries to dominate me. Bad move LOL!
