ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam Failed Biology eh? Note the avian secondary sex characteristics. It's a cock. I guess it's been a long time since you've been near one. Although I thought your last line was very appropriate in referring to the member in question, your biology terms need a little work. First there are chickens. Under a year old the females are pullets and the males are cockerels. After a year old, which your pic certainly is by now, the cockerels are properly referred to as roosters and the pullets are now called hens. That being said, I do agree. Probably been a long time for our resident sock.

We are stardust, we are golden, and we got to get ourselves back to the garden. Yes, I am crazy about feathered creatures. I have a dozen chickens, 3 ducks, 5 geese, and 2 parakeets. Revise that number. Just got 14 new chicks and 5 turkeys.
