Sorry no, I have not checked yet. Will have a look tonight when I get home. I have actually heard this before somewhere too. Will let you know.

Looks like a hen to me.

 

I have heard all thwe theories, but have not tried them myself, I remeber watching John Magee's video called a fanciers fancier and there is something in there to do with holding the bird upside down.

 

If it struggles to get up it is a cock, if it lays there it is a hen.

 

Can anyone confirm who has the video to hand

I think I am on the verge of shoving a finger up "there" and feeling for myself.  ;D

 

;D

Well the mystery is solved, its a hen. She layed her first egg today. :'( :'(

 

Thanks for all the help.

Thats the method I use

 

You hold the bird n your hand and turn its head 180degrees turn it upside down and hold it gently in your hand if it riggles it's a cock if it stays still it's a hen.

 

Ps Glad you found out what it was
