Is this a Roo?
## Is This a Roo? A Chicken Identity Crisis! Our community is buzzing with a cluck-tastic mystery! /u/Imaginary_Egg_7913 recently shared a puzzling situation: three sexed-guaranteed chicks, each a unique breed, are now 15 weeks old – but one black chick has dramatically outgrown its siblings, sporting unusually large feet and a prominent comb. The real kicker? It started crowing! Could this be a rooster in disguise? It’s a scenario many chicken keepers secretly (or not so secretly!) fear. We’ve all been there, questioning a chick’s identity. This situation echoes similar experiences shared by our readers, like /u/Least-Reflection4873’s heartwarming story of “The Queen found her Throne.” Stay tuned as we explore this fowl play and what it might mean for this growing flock!
What breed of chicken?
