I am having a tough time determining if this is a rooster.  Any thoughts?  Here are some pictures of the chickens.

You are asking about the red with the big comb? Its a girl looks like she has been laying for awhile. Did you just get her? She looks just like mine in fact hubby said which one of those is ours.  My girls have been laying since August and their combs are all floppy like that. Also your rocks are girls too.

All I see is a bunch of girls!

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

I see all girls, too. Love the pic of the red hen checking herself out for saddle feathers, too!

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
