The crowing FEMALE sebright

So I have a Golden Sebright that I thought was a female also and then HE started crowing and and few weeks later his tail feathers started getting longer and asked on here about it also. But looks from the picture your pullet is a cockerel.

If a hen, she’s going to lay an egg very soon. Keep us updated, let us know!

I have a crowing silver Sebright (5 mo) that crows. I have had countless of people tell me its a female, so thats whats interesting.

Something i notice is that this one has had a huge crowing gap. Whenever i have had roosters (ive had quite a few.) once they start crowing, there are sometimes gaps between crowing again, but normally they just get so excited they continue to crow 24/7, and sometimes fizzle out a little bit on crowing.

This one had about a 3 week (or even more!) gap of crowing.

Like the Sebright crowed once or twice, then didn’t crow for 3 weeks or so, then started crowing again! So heres my question

Assuming its a female (like everyone says) will i be stuck with a crowing female?? I mean, thats the #1 reason i don’t want roosters in the first place! Because of crowing. Or, is this possibly a male? Because the waddle seems pretty developed. Will she/he eventually fizzle out of it?

Would a video of the crowing be useful? Its crackly sounding, like a broke kazoo. It also gets extremely high to do it, like when doing this, it got in the nesting box on the perch to be high, and they NEVER stay in the nesting box this late, ever.


Picture i took yesterday: View attachment 3182125 Extremely energetic, spunky, and out of the two (Sebright, Trixie, Japanese, Dixie) Trixie seems to be slightly dominant, but they aren’t aggressive and i never have seen them make contact

I think you have a male.
Sebright males are hen-feathered, meaning they don't have the sickle-shaped tail feathers of a rooster, but the rounded tail feathers a hen would have.
Although I have an egg-laying Silver Laced Sebright named Stormy, and she used to crow. (Not anymore, though) Here are some photos of Stormy, so you have a better idea of what female Sebrights look like.

My golden Sebright has the sickle-shaped tail feathers. That’s the only reason I finally figured out it wasn’t a crowing hen
