Is my Vorwerk a Victor or Victoria?
« on: June 06, 2008, 07:36 »
Good Morning

I obtained some pullets recently who were about 11 weeks old. They include a Vorwerk and are now about 15 -16 weeks old. I also have a Dutch bantam cock of the same age.  He has started crowing, fair enough, but so has my Vorwerk. Could she be a he? Or do young Vorwerks crow from time to time?

She/he doesn't yet look like pictures I have seen of Vorwerk cockerels.
Looking forward to your views.

Sounds like you have a cockerel do you have a picture?

I agree it does sound like a cockerel.  I have a friend with vorwerks and his cockerel crowed much younger than yours so it does seem as if you have a boy in there.  A photo would help us identify its sex easier though.

Whilst crowing is associated with the male of the species, all is not lost. I have several hens that crow just like a cock.

Hello
I would love it if you could post a pic as I have a Vorwerk chick which I suspect is also a boy.  He is about 4 weeks old.  
Is there any spur development, are the feathers round the neck rounded or pointy?

Vorwerk- Victor/Victoria?

Good Morning

Thank you for your replies.  My supplier who dropped by yesterday now thinks he is a male. The pictures I have seen are not conclusive for me yet.

I would post a picture if I knew how to do it on this site. All my attempts have met with failure!  If anybody can tell me an easy way or give me their email addres I will certainly post a picture.

For Ness, I got him/her locally here in the Tamar valley.
