Is That a Rooster or Just a Clucky Identity Crisis

Eight weeks old and already giving us a cluckin' identity crisis, this little Finnish landrace mix is keeping their human on their toes. The comb is as red as the other roosters', but the feet are small and the body shape leans more toward the hens. Those pointy, blue-shiny neck feathers? Mom has them too. So is this chick a late-blooming roo or just a hen with serious swagger? It's the kind of fowl play that makes you question everything you thought you knew about feathery friends. For anyone who's ever watched a sweet roo turn into a tiny terror, our piece "From sweet roo to fowl play: when hormones hijack the henhouse" might feel painfully familiar.
