Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

She might be a dominant hen in the making too. Hens will act very roosterish sometimes, but hens only crow when they are too old to lay eggs~ it's a sign of chicken menopause basically and it's where the old saying comes from
Never trust a crowing hen
Edited to add:
Hens do talk and make sounds mostly after they begin laying eggs~ very similair to the sounds your little rooster is making now~ but he is trying to do the whole sticking his neck up, give it his all vocalization AND he has the appearance of a rooster. The larger comb at a younger age, they way that tail sticks up, just the way he carries himself. The others in there still look like hens to me, but they may just not be developed enough yet. Some roosters won't crow until they are pretty old, but the pointy neck and saddle feathers give them away. When you butcher those roosters they almost always have tiny little testicles too, where the early bloomers like your little rooster have great big ones the size of my thumb!

That thing is awesome, Kevin! Don't let my wife see. I just finished a second one today, but will put it in my own thread as it's not worthy to be in yours.
Enjoy your fantastic coop (and watch out for geese.....we just got one).

I still have some work to do on the coop. Still got to build a lay box and get the real roost built. Right now they only have a temp roost.
