OKAY
AFTER 4 PAGES I'M STILL LOST. I THINK ITS A BIGENDERED CHICKEN hmm

These are Jungle Fowl/Phoenix birds. They are 3 months old and VERY PRETTY. I love them. I just want to make sure. I think I sexed them right. I used their tails to sex them. 2 girls 1 boy was my guess

Rooster right?

Hen, I said because she carries her tail and it doesn't have green in it like the roo does. it's also half the length.

Sorry, you got 3 hens. With the golden/BBR/silver phoenix the males look way different, they are black and red/gold/silver. Alot of phoenix hens have longer pointed tail feathers like that.

They aren't full blooded phoenix though. Also, they are only 3 months old, so couldn't he just be not developed all the way yet. Darn...

I am sure the first one is a rooster. I had silver phoenix and that is a roo!!! It may be gold, but its for sure not a hen. The hens do not have long tails at all. I think because it is young,peope might mistake it for a hen. The tail is not as long as it is going to get!! Yay for you!!!

I think the mix will throw some people off!!

I know its a hen. My friend Napalongtails had a bunch of hens hatch like that, its refered to as cock feathered hens, its not that common. We have a silver phoenix hen that had a long tail with two longer pointed tail feathers, it was as long as the leghorns roosters tail but she is or sure a hen. Her hackle feathers are also longer, pointed, and glossy like a males but she is a hen.

If is a hen like the others, why does it look like a roo, and they don't? It's a roo! If it lays an egg then I will be wrong! So zaboo you need to let me know if it crows or if it lays an egg!!!lau

Oh yeah well my momma says....hahaha. I say boy because she is BBR colored just like the phoenix and red jungle fowl hens. Both sides of her family produce males that look obvious with a black breast and such.

So I say boy. I think we need another opinion.
