    Hi everyone, we have a stray. If it’s a hen, it stays. If it’s a cock, it goes. Can anyone tell me from looking at it?

    Given that it is a Rhode Island Red hybrid it is probably a hen, they are sex linked so the breeder spots and removes the rooster at birth by feather colour.


    Unless you have some one near by breeding them.


    What are its legs like?


    Especially the spur at the back.


    A rooster will have legs like a tree trunk.


    Personally going by size I would reckon a hen
