That looks pretty good too. If you haven't seen it, you might check out http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/poultry/chickens/, which has photos of a lot of different chicken breeds.

rooster or hen?

I am just getting started with chickens. I found your site and love it. I got the aqua miser, and love it, too! I just finished a chicken tractor, and they seem content in it. My chickens are 5-6 weeks old. I have 4 barred plymouth rock (purchased as hens), 2 ameracaunas (ap?), 1 new hampshire red (I think), and 1 non-identified (probably ameracauna). I heard a faint cock-a-doodle-do this morning, and was fortunate enough to be able to watch and find out which one was making that noise. Would hens ever make that noise? I cannot have a rooster in my area. I have to get rid of any roosters before they let out a loud cock-a-doodle-do, or my neighbors will freak! Is there a better way to tell which is a rooster before they let out a loud crow?

I'm so glad the Avian Aqua Miser is working out for you! I had an accidental rooster last year in some chicks I bought as all female. I didn't realize it until he crowed, just like you said. But once I knew he was a rooster, it was so obvious. He was considerably bigger than his sisters and had a bigger comb. Check out the photo at http://waldeneffect.org/blog/Rooster_in_Disguise/ --- it makes it pretty clear what to look for in a young rooster. Hope that helps!
